The primary focus of school counseling programs at the elementary level is prevention. Our goal is to help students develop more positive interpersonal and intrapersonal skills...assisting them to be happier, more effective individuals and learners. Our school counseling program is for every student at Locust Grove. Therefore, our services are designed to reach every student through developmental, preventative education and responsive services. I will teach a series of classroom guidance lessons to every student in the building. These lessons are developmentally appropriate for each grade level and are generally preventative in nature. Students at the intermediate level will be presented with new topics during classroom guidance during the 09-10 school year. At this time, those topics being considered and will be announced closer to the start of school in August.
