New Castle Elementary School Counseling Department
Our Program
Our school counseling program is designed to be comprehensive and developmental in nature, and promotes academic, career, and personal/social development for all students. The school counselors at NCES provide individual counseling, small group counseling, and classroom guidance lessons.
How can we help your child?
Individual Counseling: Self, parent or teacher referrals can initiate the counseling process. We provide a safe and trusting environment for students to address any issues that may be a distraction from their learning process.
Group Counseling: Small groups are offered to provide opportunities for students with similar issues to work together with their peers in a safe and comfortable environment.
Classroom Guidance Lessons: Students receive monthly classroom guidance lessons based on The Principals of American Citizenship (character traits). Lessons fall into three categories: personal/social, academic and career.
Coordination: School counselors may provide assistance with utilizing community resources or provide information for referrals outside of the school.
Consultation Services: School counselors are available to consult with parents and teachers regarding their concerns.
Mindful Moment Room: The Mindful Moment Room is a place for students to sit for a moment to reflect on their behaviors that may be interfering with their own or their peers' learning. The room is designed to allow the students to reset themselves in an effort to be receptive to classroom instruction.
