RMS CCMR Checklist
At Riverwood, we believe that every student is unique and that requires us to serve each one differently. To do so, we must invest time into each child and learn what their unique strengths and challenges are, as well as their unique interests. To ensure we do this, we have developed a personalized approach to counseling.
We have officially started our personal counseling meetings. In these meetings, we will discuss the goals your child sets for themselves and plan for their academic adventures, while meeting their social and emotional needs.
What is a Comprehensive Counseling Program?
A comprehensive school counseling program is an integral component of the school’s mission. Comprehensive school counseling programs are driven by student data and based on the Texas Model for Comprehensive School Counseling Program guidelines.
- Guidance - Classroom lessons through core academic areas
- Responsive Services - Individual and small group counseling support
- Individual Planning - individual student meetings with all students in each grade level, course selection process, behavior plans, goal setting, etc.
- System Support - Support to RMS staff and Parents: SMORE newsletters, website information, Trainings for Staff, Open House, Community Outreach, School Counseling Advisory Council, and much MORE!
