2007-2008 Guidance Counseling Program
Mrs. Wickersham
The Guidance Counseling Program at Reynolds Elementary School is an integral part of the total educational curriculum. The program includes a comprehensive developmental classroom guidance program, individual and group counseling, and crisis counseling. The purpose of the program is to assist students in developing positive attitudes and coping skills that will guide them through their daily life experiences.
Classroom Guidance lessons promote the charactor education values of RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY, TRUSTWORTHINESS, FAIRNESS, CARING, and CITIZENSHIP. Each classroom is visited once a month for a fourty-five minute lesson.
Group and individual counseling takes place during "Lunch Pals." The "Pals" meet in the Guidance Room one time per cycle to provide opportunities for the children to express their feelings, increase self-esteem, manage behavior, develop friendship skills, and learn coping skills in a supportive environment.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the program or your child, Mrs. Wickersham can be reached by calling the school at (201) 961-6311 between the hours of 7:30 and 3:00 or by e-mail at jwickersham@usrschoolsk8.com.
