The guidance program at CES is designed to positively impact every child in an age-appropriate way. The guidance curriculum educates students in social and emotional skills, safety, and career awareness. Responsive services include individual and small group counseling, conflict resolution, and mediation. For issues that reach beyond our school boundaries, referrals to community resources are available. Did you know that elementary school counselors...
"The elementary years are a time when students begin to develop their academic self-concept and their feelings of competence and confidence as learners. They are beginning to develop decision-making, communication, and life skills, as well as character values. It is also a time when students develop and acquire attitudes toward school, self, peers, social groups, and family. Early identification and intervention of children's academic and personal/social needs is essential in removing barriers to learning and in promoting academic achievement. The knowledge, attitudes, and skills that students acquire in the areas of academic, career, and personal/social development during these elementary years serve as the foundation for future success." (American School Counselors Association, 2004)
