| The guidance program is a developmental program, which focuses on various skills such as: responsible behavior, communication skills, decision-making, problem-solving skills, etc. We will teach our students about goal setting and the six pillars of strong character. Each month will have a thematic focus. | ||||||||||||||||||

| Individual Planning | ||||||||||||||||||
| We will work one on one with students to set goals, develop action plans and review progress throughout the year. These goals may be academic, social, emotional, or physical. The process of setting and reviewing goals will be based on the goal setting process taught during guidance classes and within the regular classroom. | ||||||||||||||||||
| System Support | ||||||||||||||||||
| Additionally,
we consult with parents, teachers, and administrators in regard to any
concerns about your child. The State of Texas has mandated the No
Child Left Behind - Student Success Initiative. All third grade students
must pass the TAKS reading test to be promoted to the fourth grade. Parents
of students at risk of not meeting the criteria for promotion will be actively
involved in Grade Placement Committees. This year we will also be offering
our "Love and Logic" parenting groups and Counselor - Parent Coffees for
anyone interested in attending. If we all work together
we can help all of our
children be successful.
