Guidance & Counseling Programs K-12

Junior High Counseling

The School Counselor counsels students in the classroom, in small group settings, and individually, focusing on student needs and growth based on normal developmental stages. The School Counselor consults with teachers, parents, administrators and community service providers to assist students. The School Counselor coordinates national testing, local testing, career planning, special need placements and community involvement to benefit and enhance the education of every student.

Classroom Guidance

Guidance curriculum is presented in the classroom, to all students, throughout the year. Curriculum units focus on academic guidance, personal/social topics and career exploration. These units are taught by the school counselor in the classroom throughout the school year.

Group Counseling

Counselors provide small group counseling to students who have common needs/concerns. These groups are intended to support students in making positive decisions and to learn to successfully manage personal concerns. Student participation in group counseling is voluntary and needs parent permission. Group topics vary from school to school. See your student's counselor for further information.

Individual Counseling

School counselors provide individual counseling to students as needed, to support and guide students with academic concerns, personal/social concerns, and career questions. Counselors are always available to provide short-term supportive services in any emergency situation. Students may self-refer or refer other students. Parents, teachers, administrators, and school resource officers may also refer students to the counselor. Information shared with the counselor by the student is confidential within the legal guidelines established by the Boise School District.
