As a member of the Ann K. Heiman community, your student has the privilege of receiving support from our School Counselor. Ways that our School Counselor supports students is through check-in sessions, social skills groups, academic groups, social emotional learning groups, classroom social emotional learning lessons, and/or individual counseling. In order to provide this service on a regular basis, your permission is necessary. Check-ins are generally provided for a 6 to 8 week period, at which time continued need for check-ins can be determined. Parents/Guardians will be notified if ongoing counseling services are needed. At that time, parents/guardians will decide if school counseling services may continue. (Please note: in a crisis, any child can receive crisis intervention and counseling without prior permission). Any regular and ongoing counseling information is kept confidential unless the student is at-risk of being harmed, hurting him/herself or others. In such a case as when the student's safety or the safety of others is questionable, the parent must be notified and proper referrals made.
