Student Counseling & Social-Emotional Support Services

Category: Student Support Services

At Upper Elementary School, we are committed to supporting the social, emotional, and mental well-being of every student. Our team offers proactive and responsive services to help students thrive in and out of the classroom.

💬 Monthly SEL Instruction

All students receive one Social Emotional Learning (SEL) lesson per month during homeroom. These lessons focus on building resilience, emotional regulation, communication skills, and responsible decision-making. Lessons align with our Respect theme and CharacterStrong framework.

🧠 Individual & Group Counseling Services

Our School Counselor and Social Worker provide short-term individual and small group counseling based on teacher referral, student request, or parent concern. These sessions may address topics such as:

  • Peer conflict

  • Grief or loss

  • Self-regulation and coping strategies

  • Family changes

  • School adjustment

If longer-term therapy or specialized mental health support is needed, families may request a referral for outside therapy.
