Social Emotional Support for Students

Schools are seeing larger numbers of students with challenges that impact not only their learning but also their relationships with others. We strive to meet the needs of these students in a variety of ways.

• Holy Spirit’s consulting psychologist meets regularly with teachers to design classroom strategies to meet the unique needs of these learners. She is invaluable in helping parents understand the needs of their child; providing testing services; and helping teachers and parents develop plans.

• Counselors encourage and support students through times of triumph and struggle. They are trained to work with students and direct them or their families to the appropriate professionals (if needed) for help with their academic or personal lives.

• Homeroom and middle school advisors also play a key role in supporting the social-emotional health of all students. Utilizing morning meetings, group gatherings, and other strategies, teachers build relationships with students so that our tagline of “every student is known and honored” is lived out.
