Comprehensive Counseling Program
What is a comprehensive counseling program?
- Guidance - Classroom lessons through Advisory periods
- Responsive Services - Individual and small group counseling support
- Individual Planning - 504, course selection process, behavior plans, goal setting, etc...
- System Support - Support to WLMS staff and Parents: SMORE newsletters, website information, Counselor Chats, Trainings for Staff, Mentoring Program for Students, Open House, Community Outreach, School Counseling Advisory Council, and much MORE!
Advisory Lessons
Each nine weeks we are focusing on a different Great 8 Skill:
- Optimistic Thinking - Growth Mindset
- Self-Management
- Relationship Skills
- Goal Directed Behavior
The WLMS Counselors have been so excited planning and working many fun back to school activities since returning to campus in late July.
Here are some of the ways we have provided support to our current and future wolves:
Pup Camp - Fun camp for our incoming "pups" (6th graders)
Back to School Registration
Staff Training - Building and sustaining positive relationships
Grade Level Class Meetings - Counselor/AP partners talking with students in class groups
In addition, the WLMS counselors were available for all students each morning and throughout all three lunch periods during the first week of school to help answer any questions regarding schedules and scheduling errors.
