GUIDANCE SERVICES Cranston High School West guidance counselors are integral members of the school faculty whose myriad responsibilities and proactive work with young people will ultimately lead to students learning more effectively and efficiently. The role of the school counselor includes individual/group counseling, consultation and coordination for all students in a developmental manner. Counselors spend the majority of their time in direct contact with all students to address personal/social, academic and career development standards. Guidance services are provided by experienced certified counselors. School counselors provide continuous educational assistance to each student to deal with normal educational, personal, social, or vocational concerns. Counselors are responsible for the preparation of all college and employment transcripts. Course selection, program modification, assistance with post-secondary planning, and assistance with referrals to meet special needs are functions best done by the assigned counselor. The counselor sits as an ad hoc member representing his students at all meetings of the Teacher Support Team, 504, and IEP conferences. Guidance services include the services of professionally trained and experienced support staff-social workers, psychologist, reading specialist, speech and language therapist, and the school nurse. Social workers are available in the guidance office to address emotional, psychological, social, and environmental issues that interfere with learning. Services to selected students and their families include individual and group counseling, special education evaluations, crisis intervention, liaison with the home, knowledge about and referral to appropriate social agencies, consultation and support for staff as needed. Parents wishing to meet with any professional in the guidance office
should call for an appointment as counselors usually plan their conferences
and group meetings several days in advance and a spontaneous parent meeting
might be interrupting time designated for a student. This also provides
time for the counselor to obtain teacher reports, particularly if the
student is experiencing difficulty.
