Tarawa Terrace II Elementary School

Counseling Program

TT II Elementary School has two counselors who provide guidance and counseling services to our students. Incoming student records are reviewed by the counselor and appropriate student program placements are made. Classroom guidance lessons are presented to all students within the classroom environment. Individual and group counseling services are available to the entire student body as well. The Counselors interpret standardized testing results for teachers and parents and also serves as liaisons with many community resources. Children may see the counselors on a walk-in basis (with permission from their teacher) or may be referred by a parent, teacher or administrator.

Classroom Guidance themes

Teachers or parents may refer students for small group counseling. The group or topic of focus is based on the needs of the individuals who have been referred. The format for groups is as follows:
      *6-8 Students in each group
      *Meet 1/wk for 6 weeks
      *Parent permission required
Confidentiality is maintained and the counselor facilitates each of the groups.

A student may be referred for individual counseling in one of the following ways:
      *Self-referral
      *Staff/Faculty Referral
      *Parent Referral
Although the counselor may provide immediate service to an individual student, she would seek parent permission when offering ongoing individual counseling services.

The Counselor is an available resource for parents as well. Parents are encouraged to consult with the counselor for assistance at any time!
