A civil rights law to protect childrens rights.
What is an SST meeting?
SST means student support team and is designed to help any
student who may be struggling either academically, behaviorally,
socially or emotionally. We want our children to be successful.
What is an IEP?
An IEP is an Individualized Education Plan, generally designed
for special education needs such as speech here at Britt David.
How are Peer Helpers Chosen?
There are so many students to select from it is very difficult.
I am only allowed to have 10, sice that is all that is allowed
to go to the Trade Center Conference. We pick out 15-25 5th
grades and put their names in a hat and pick them out from there
in an effort to be fair.
Can parents come to Classroom Guidance Counseling
I welcome all visitors, but prefer you only observe and not
participate.

All school counselors must have a minimum of a Masters Degree in
counseling. Most states are specific, such as Georgia, that it
