Small Group Programs

Small groups of students may meet at lunch time or another time agreed upon as least interfering with academic instruction.  Parents who wish to have their children receive such support are asked to contact the counselor.

• Lunch Buddies:  Students are invited by the counselor to meet informally at lunch to practice social skills, discuss friendship problems or become better acquainted.
• Newcomers’ Lunch:  Students new to the district will be invited to meet in small groups to promote friendships and healthy adjustments.
• Survive It:  Students who are experiencing a loss in their family through separation, divorce, or death meet to share their concerns and receive group support.
• The Boosters:  Students explore ways to increase self-confidence, self-esteem, and friendship through helpful projects.
• Stress Busters:  Students who are invited to participate will discover their body’s signals of stress.  Students will learn relaxation techniques, as well as problem solving strategies.  

Participation in ongoing groups requires parental permission.  Parents who wish to have their children receive such support are asked to contact the counselor.
