Counselor's Corner
Vickie Coover, guidance counselor

It is the goal of our Guidance Department to promote and facilitate academic success, career awareness and personal/ social development for all students. This is accomplished through individual meetings, small group counseling, and classroom guidance lessons. I also work with parents, teachers, and administration when developing programs to meet the needs of every student.

The objectives of the elementary guidance program are to assist students in developing:

Ø     Academic and study skills, such as: listening and paying attention, organization, relaxation techniques, and test-taking strategies.

Ø     An awareness of the world of work and how it relates to school.

Ø     Social Skills, such as: effective communication, conflict-resolution, and manners.

Ø      Personal Skills, such as positive self-concept, successful coping behaviors, and decision-making.
