A Tour Of The Guidance Room

Welcome to a new school year!  I'm excited to share the guidance room with you.  You are all invited to visit in person but until then you can enjoy a virtual tour!



 

Chill Zone
This is my favorite area of the guidance room!  Just like at home when you hang out with your friends, the Chill Zone is a great area to have open and honest discussions.


Classroom Curriculum
Each classroom will visit the guidance room one time per 6-day cycle.  Together we will learn about various topics throughout the year.  Some topics may include: the Character Counts pillars, social skills, teamwork, getting along with others, bullying, communicating feelings, and test preparation.  Topics will be determined by the needs present in the school and events occuring in the community.  The Prairie Valley Elementary team wants our youth to be prepared for life and succeed!


The front of Mrs. Deal's desk:
"What you say in here, stays in here."
Confidentiality allows students to share their thoughts and feelings with the confidence that it will not leave this room.  This primarily is for individual and small group counseling sessions. 

In order ensure safety, there are three circumstances in which confidentiality may be broken.  Those exceptions include:
1.  Someone is hurting you.
2.  You want to hurt someone.
3.  You want to hurt yourself.
