Dear Parents,
We are beginning our small group counseling in October and here are the groups that we are planning to offer.
Please contact your school counselor with a note or a phone call if you would like your child to participate in a small group or if you have questions. Typically our small groups meet once a week during the school day for 30 minutes. The groups generally meet for about 8 sessions. We try to schedule the groups at a time where the students will miss the least academic material if possible.
Mrs. Chupp, School Counselor for K, 1st & 4th 770-222-3778, option 1
Mrs. Carty, School Counselor for 2nd, 3rd, & 5th 770-222-3778, option 2
