There are many exciting programs and groups planned for the 2006-2007 school year!  My job is to work with students in the classroom, small groups, individually as needed, and to work with teachers and parents in any capacity that I can be of assistance.  I will be spending the first few weeks of school going into each classroom and introducing myself and discussing with the children what my job is.  I will explain that I can be a friend, a helper, and a good secret keeper.  I will also explain that there is a time when I can not be a secret keeper. I can not be a secret keeper when our children are going to harm themselves or another or someone is going to harm them.  I will explain that their safety always comes first.

 

My main goal as counselor is to work with teachers and parents to promote and enhance the learning experiences of our children by working very closely with teachers and parents.

 

 

All of our children can come to the counselor’s office if they are:

Sad

Feel alone or shy

Have news to share

Are having difficulty in class

Are afraid

Have trouble making friends

Are happy

Are confused

Are feeling stress of some sort

Are having some sort of problem

 

·       Students can refer themselves to the counseling office by picking up a form from the outside of Ms. Beck’s door and then placing it in the message folder.  Teachers also have a form that they may fill out and return to my box.  If a parent would like to make a referral or get a message to me you can e-mail, fax, or call me at South Greenville.

 

     Parents please do not hesitate to contact me for any reason.

Especially if you see signs of:

 Frustration

A change in eating habits

A change in sleep habits

Having difficulty completing school work

Frequently getting in trouble in school

 

Classroom guidance each month will center on a different character word.

 

Please talk with your children about these character traits.  Talking with our children will help reinforce these character traits at home as well as in school.  Teachers will be reinforcing these traits as well in their classrooms.

 

character words for each month of the school year

       

·        Third grade students will cover these character words through a program called

Free The Horses

 

 

 

If I have more hands I can reach more children!
