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.
