The Counseling Program… |
|
The counseling program is vital to the school because it provides guidance contact in a systematic way to all students. It is directed toward educational guidance with emphasis on direct contact with students, parents, and educational staff. | | |

The Guidance Counselor … |
|
• helps students to develop self-understanding and self-awareness
• promotes positive attitudes and choices
• counsels with students/parents regarding student choices in the educational and social areas of the student’s life
• provides career and college planning activities
• provides referral information for parents
• consults with teachers, administrators, and parents regarding special needs of students.

Individual Counseling |
I work with students individually for a number of problems a student might present, such as friendship issues, difficulty in the classroom, or on the bus, conflict resolution, new student orientation, difficulty coming to school, anger management, to name a few. Referrals for students to meet with a school counselor can be made by classroom teachers or other school staff (i.e., principal), by parents, or through student self-referrals. |

| WECHS Student Support Services |
A team approach is used to identify and resolve issues, which may be barriers to student success. Members of the site team is the counselor, social worker, and principal. Referrals may come from teachers, parents, and other support staff. The team monitors attendance, discipline referrals, academic performance, and special needs to identify target populations, as well. | | |
