School Support & Counseling
The counseling program at North Buncombe Elementary offers individual counseling, group counseling and classroom guidance lessons. ALL students see the School Counselors during School Counseling sessions. Each classroom is visited about twice a month for these classroom lessons. Character Education is a major element of our school counseling program. Some of the topics covered in classroom counseling lessons are:
decision making
bullying
conflict resolution
responsibility
study skills
learning how to be considerate
learning about feelings
career exploration
Individual counseling is provided through student, teacher or parent referral. This is short term counseling to help with concerns or problems that are affecting the student's academic success. If students need ongoing counseling, a referral to an outside therapist can be made. Small group counseling is also offered when several students are experiencing a similar problem or life issue and need support. The school counselors also work with parents, school staff and community agencies to help meet the needs of students and families.
The counseling department is here to support every student at North Buncombe Elementary as each one strives to reach his or her fullest academic potential.
Please feel free to contact the Counseling Office at 645-6054 if you have any questions about the role of the school counselor or if you would like to set up an appointment to discuss your child.
