Welcome to the Guidance Department! |
The guidance counselor is available to students to help them develop social, academic, and personal strengths to become successful and productive citizens.
|
Individual Counseling: |
Students can be referred by self, teacher, or parent for individual counseling.
|
Small Group: |
| Groups of two or more students come to Mrs. Collman to discuss various issues ranging from: friendship skills to academic skills. |
Classroom Guidance: |
| Students will learn about responsibility, respect for self and others, good citizenship, and compassion for others in the first semester of school. Please ask your child what he or she discussed in guidance throughout the school year. Please reinforce positive behaviors as they occur. "Catch" your child exhibiting good character! |
Attendance |
| Regular school attendance is of utmost importance. Students who are tardy, leave early, and miss a lot of school do not do nearly as well as students who attend school regularly, and receive all classroom instruction and participation. Please try to limit absences, tardies, and early sign-outs. When good attendance is not a top priority for you, your children get the message that you assume education is not as important in your household as other activities. Let's all work together to teach our children that education is at the very top of our priority list. |
Improve Behavior at School with Good Dicipline at Home |
*Set simple rules-ones kids can easily understand.
*Involve children in making the rules. This helps them understand them. Plus, kids are more likely to obey rules they've helped make.
*Make sure children know what will happen if they break a rule.
*Be quick to praise children when they do something you expect. Say, "I noticed You..." when they help around the house, work hard on homework or show consideration for another person.
* Respond quickly to discipline problems. If your child is becoming out of control at home, seek help. Contact your child's teacher, your doctor, or another professional. |
Help Your Child Develop Healthy Homework Habits: |
*Plan a regular time for homework.
*Turn off the TV during this time.
*Provide a quiet, well-organized place to study.
*Be sure your child reads and understands the directions for the assignment.
*Be available to answer questions and give support.
*When your child is confused, contact the teacher right away.
*Don't schedule too many after-school activities.
*Check to see that your child's work is complete and reasonably neat.
*Set clear limits on TV and telephone time.
*Teach time management. Have your child estimate how long an assignment will take. Then see how long it really is. |
