We go into your child's class for 30 minutes every other week to discuss social skills, organizational skills, character building, career awareness, academic support, friend issues, and a variety of other topics that are tailored to their grade level. We also provide individual counseling, group counseling, and overall support to the students, parents, and teachers.Can I talk to any counselor?
