People may forget what you say. People may forget what you do. People will
never forget how you make them feel!

What is My Child Learning in Class Guidance Counseling?
All topics are grade and age appropriate and follow the State Curriculum
Guidelines. This format is a general guideline. If you have questions please
don't hesitate to ask.
AUGUST- Counselor introduction and orientation on what a School Counselor
does. Discussion of respect, following rules, peer pressure, and being a good
student/citizen. Character Education word of the Month is Self-Control:
exercising authority over one's emotions and actions. Discussion and non-
graded quiz on the 2009-2010 Behavior Code and Discipline Policy handbook.
This is for 3-5th grades only.
SEPTEMBER- We learn about Stranger Danger and Bully Prevention. What to do
(and not to do) if confronted in a dangerous situation, tricks we can use to
stay safe and get away. 4th graders, only, take a Bully Survey (annonymous).
Character Education word of the month is Tolerance: willing to accept persons
and opinions that are different from your own.
