Ms Ceballos, School Counselor
Welcome Back!!!
This year there will be an even bigger emphasize in our students’ social emotional and mental health. Students will learn, understand, and be able to apply essential social emotional concepts as well as useful coping skills. Students will learn these skills through monthly class guidance lessons led by me, your school counselor!
Additionally, individual student meetings with me are available for students who request it, are referred by a teacher, or at the request of a parent. These individual student meetings consist of emotional and behavior check-ins and teaching and practicing social- emotional skills or coping skills that may benefit the student’s personal needs.
An important program that will begin to be implemented in GISD, including Desert Trail Elementary this academic school year, will be The Olweus Bullying Prevention Program. The purpose of this program is to target and reduce bullying behaviors at our school. This will be achieved by teaching students what bullying is, how to recognize it, and teach them what to do if they get bullied or witness bullying happening in order to prevent those negative behaviors from happening again. All Desert Trail staff including cafeteria staff, custodians, teachers, office staff, and Instructional assistants have been trained on how to handle all bullying situations effectively and appropriately. As part of the Olweus program, each classroom will have a weekly class meeting, where students will have an opportunity to better express themselves, discuss individual and classroom concerns, and create a better classroom connection.
Finally, there will be a lot of reward opportunities for students who demonstrate positive behaviors. Students will have the opportunity to receive prizes or rewards on an individual level and as a classroom for positive behaviors they demonstrate toward each other and to themselves. Student of the week in each classroom will also be implemented this school year once again to reward students who demonstrate good character qualities such as responsibility, kindness, fairness, trustworthiness, respect, and citizenship.
I look forward to your continued support!
