Student Services
What is Student Services?
Student
Services is made of the counselor, school social worker, and school
psychologist. We have one goal in common... to help students achieve
personal growth and success. Contacting Our School Counselor Parents may
contact our school counselor, Ms. Chin, at (305) 223-9823 ext. 121.
Students may also be referred to the counselors by an administrator,
teacher, or parents. It is important for families to support the
School Counseling program. The program is preventative in nature and
intended to provide skills and resources that will enable your child
to grow up in an emotionally wholesome manner. Remember, you do not
need to have a problem to visit the counselor. Counseling is for
everyone!
What Do Counselors Do? The school counselor works with individual
students to help them better express their concerns and
problems, to better understand themselves and others, and to work
toward positive educational, personal, and social development. A
parent can access these services by speaking with their child's
teacher, or with Ms. Chin. The counselor also conducts small group
counseling to enhance developmental areas such as friendship
skills, anger management skills, conflict resolution skills,
self-esteem building, and other areas that students may need. The school counselor teaches guidance lessons in
the regular classroom to help students develop an awareness of self,
others, and the world around them. Their academic, social and career
development is fostered through a planned series of guidance
activities throughout the school year. The school counselor consults with teachers
to evaluate behaviors and individual need of students, to assist in
enhancing the total development of the students, and to provide
support when needed. The counselor consults with parents to help
with problems that may be occurring at school and at home, to follow
up on concerns regarding their child's progress, and to help promote
effective parenting skills. The school counselor consults with
administration to provide the most effective learning atmosphere
the schools can offer.
