Mrs. St. Dennis - Guidance Counselor
	Waverley’s Guidance Program is modeled after the American School Counselor Association standards. Our program is comprehensive and focuses on student’s strengths. We have a variety of programs and services that seek to assist each child to be successful throughout their school day.
Here is a sampling of what we offer: -· Small Group, Skill-Based Instruction on Conflict Resolution, Self-Concept, Changing Families, Kids on The Block (Drug and Alcohol Awareness), Classroom Skills, and Social Skills. -· Individual skill-based “coaching” on classroom and social skills. This can include one-on-one work with Ms. Barbour and may be reinforced with incentive-based success plans. -· Classroom Guidance at each grade level on a variety of interpersonal skills, classroom skills, and career topics. -· We celebrate our students’ personal achievements 6 times during the year. Using the pillars of the Character Counts! model, students are recognized in a school-wide ceremony. Students who earn “Golden Eagle Feathers” also have an opportunity to sit at the “Golden Goblet” every month.
