Campus Assumptions:
  • By utilizing a comprehensive approach, the LCI counseling program aims to reach every student on campus.
  • Teachers, parents, community members, administrators and the school counselor work together to meet the academic, social and emotional needs of LCI students.
  • Every student and staff member on campus is an integral part of setting the overall tone for our campus climate and culture.
  • The counseling program aims to be proactive in equipping students with life-long skills to aid in personal  growth.​

Goal #1 By the end of the 2021-2022 school year, 4th and 5th grade students will be able to differentiate between bullying and conflict as evidenced by bullying 
                 report investigation data.

Goal #2 By the end of the 2021-2022 school year, discipline referrals resulting in ISS placements will decrease by 10% from the previous school year.

Individual Counseling 

Students may speak with Mrs. Barnes for one-on-one help with short-term issues that may impact their ability to focus and learn. This can occur both in person and virtually. Some topics of discussion may include making friends, bullying, school work, handling stress, setting goals, etc. All sessions are confidential unless safety concerns arise. In these situations, Mrs. Barnes will make direct parent contact to discuss concerns.
​
IMPORTANT NOTE:​ It is not the role of the school counselor to provide ongoing therapy. If ongoing mental health concerns arise, Mrs. Barnes will contact the parent/guardian and provide information for referral to appropriate resources. 

​​
​Classroom Guidance 


​In an effort to reach more students, Mrs. Barnes presents lessons to ALL students teaching important social and emotional skills. During scheduled times, Mrs. Barnes will help students develop academic, personal, and social skills through activities and whole class discussions. Various topics will be addressed based on student needs.

​​
This year, Mrs. Barnes will utilize a new program called GoZen! to supplement class lessons and individual sessions.
