School Counseling
School counselors provide a range of services to support each and every student in the development of academic skills, executive functioning skills and overall well being. This is accomplished through data-driven, student-focused school-wide programs, whole group lessons, small group lessons and individual counseling support. School counselors also provide connection to school-based (CMCSS social workers, Centerstone counselors, Military Family Life Counselors) and community-based resources. Parent/guardian consent is always obtained prior to providing any student or family information to non-CMCSS supports.
