Classroom Guidance

  Although we attempt to ensure that all parents are informed about the 
various aspects of our program, some of you may be unaware of what we do 
each day.  It is our hope that parents and students will understand our role 
and consider us a valuable resource throughout a child's education at East 
Side.
  Every class has classroom guidance every other week.  Students learn about 
various topics under the three main strands set by the Georgia Department of 
Education including self-knowledge, educational and occupational exploration, 
and career planning.  Lessons cover such issues as career education, drug 
prevention, bullying, personal safety, friendship skills, conflict 
resolution, decision making, problem solving, study skills, and recognizing 
personal strengths.
  Each topic is tailored to meet the developmental needs to of the students 
in each grade.
