Counseling services are available to all students at Green Tree. All students participate in Counselor Connection Lessons that are delivered in the classroom. These lessons are intended to support and complement the efforts of parents and the classroom teacher.
The primary goal of Counselor Connection is to provide information, teach skills, and provide practice to prevent problems before they begin. The objectives of these lessons focus on the following themes:
- Academic Success
- Healthy Behaviors
- Relationships
- Transitions
- Careers
- Personal/School Safety
Individual counseling is available to students on a short term or intermittent basis. Referral for counseling may be done by the parent, the teacher, or the student.
At different times during the year support groups are offered to students with common needs or concerns. Support groups are small with 6-8 students per group.. These groups generally last 6 weeks. Parental permission is required for participation in these groups.
Parents with questions or concerns regarding their child or parenting are encouraged to consult with the counselor. There is a school and community network of parent assistance that can be accessed together. Appointments can be made by contacting the Green Tree office at 335-5520.
The invitation is always open to visit a Counselor Connection Lesson or visit the counselor and find out what school counseling is all about.
