Parents regularly ask the school counselors in Warwick about the various services we provide to students. They also request information that we feel would benefit the whole student community. In response to these requests, we are going to be periodically posting a newsletter called the Counselor's Corner, where we can share pertinent information with all parents. If you have other questions or we can be of further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact one of us. Banana splitsThis is a support group to help children handle emotions associated with separation and/or divorce. The group helps children to regain feelings of stability and establishes the peer support of kids who share feelings of loss and change. Together students confront and learn to deal with the ongoing issues relating to recent or past family changes. A consent form will go home to all students regarding this program. Study skillsThis is a 10-week program offered to all fourth-grade students at some point in the school year in the student's classroom. Some examples of lesson topics might include (but are not limited to) listening to and following directions, organization and time management, study/test-taking strategies, creating good work habits and student responsibilities. lunch bunchSmall groups of students from a select class/grade may be invited to have lunch with their counselor on a given day. Students have lunch in a different atmosphere, play a game and get to know us and each other a little better in the process. This is strictly voluntary. Individual/group counseling/social skills groupIn addition to the above programs, individual and group counseling is provided throughout the school year by all counselors based upon the individual needs of our students.
