Counseling Information

School Counselors are involved with everything that involves students' social emotional, academic, and career exploration needs. They work from a strengths-based perspective to help all students persevere through challenging times. Centennial's counselors meet with students 1:1, in small and large groups, and with families and teachers. School Counselors are like phantoms. One minute they are helping a student create a plan for catching up on missing assignments and the next they are in the cafeteria supervising and talking with kids. 

Centennial Counselors have created the Zen Den attached to the space near their offices. The Zen Den provides students with a quiet and peaceful place to calm down, gather thoughts, and hold small groups. Students are able to access the space throughout the school day for limited amounts of time. 5 and 10 minute timers are available to help students focus their time and get back to class as soon as possible. Parents, there is even a small, but growing library of books for you to borrow! Read more about Social Emotional Learning and spaces like the Zen Den in this article.

Ever wonder how to help your kid get caught up when they miss a day? Here is a handy-dandy worksheet for your student to complete! If your student misses a day (or more) please have them follow the steps outlined on the two page worksheet below.

1. Print the worksheet for each day missed (or pick up copies at school, all classrooms or front desk.)

2. Student completes worksheet(s) by checking IC/Schoology and class daily slides to determine what they missed.

3. Student emails or speaks with teachers to verify they have done everything and how to submit the assignments (*see worksheet for copy/paste email template!)

4. Student completes work and submits it.
