• Individual student counseling
• School counseling small groups
• Classroom Lessons using our district curriculum, "Safer, Smarter Kids"

Our classroom lessons are imbedded in the general education setting, where we visit classrooms to deliver these lessons. If you would like more information on this district-wide curriculum, you may visit: https://safersmarterkids.org/home/

Individual Counseling is available for all students, at request of either the parent/guardian, the student's teacher(s), or the student themself.

Small Group Counseling is needs-based, and available by teacher referral, with parent/guardian approval. If your student is not referred for a group, but you want them to participate, please reach out to Mrs. Laurino or Mrs. Cuviello directly; our emails are listed below.
