Guidance Program

Cypress Springs Elementary School provides a comprehensive program of guidance and counseling services to respond to the developmental and educational needs of students.

The role of the elementary counselor is diverse. The counselor conducts individual and small group, goal-oriented counseling sessions as well as classroom guidance lessons.

Counseling services may also be provided to support students in times of crisis.

Additionally, an important focus of the elementary counseling program at Cypress Springs Elementary is the classroom guidance lessons. The lessons presented to students in the classroom setting focus on issues that meet the diverse needs of our school's population, such as decision-making skills, personal growth and development, friendship, study skills, test-taking skills, bullying prevention, cultural diversity, individual differences, and career development, to name a few.
