New Student Orientation  helps make starting a new school a positive experience by familiarizing students to where things are located, who works here, how to make friends, and what the expectations are at Moody.

Classroom Lessons  An overview of school rules and expectations, a review of ‘Bully-proofing,’ Friendship and Conflict Resolution skills will be taught in all classrooms this fall. Reminding all students of these positive expectations and skills helps make the entire year better for everyone. Follow up throughout the year will focus on building a ‘Caring Community’ and ‘Character Counts.’

Conflict Resolution  Helping students resolve conflicts and teaching them to solve problems is an important skill that elementary children will learn. Students gain the skills and confidence to solve many of their own problems.

Discipline  When students make poor choices, we want them to learn from their mistakes. Consequently, the counselor may talk with students about making better choices in the future.

Student Support Groups  Parent permission is required to participate in a group. Group time is chosen with the teacher's input to be the least disruptive to the academic day.

Crisis Assistance  Students in crisis may request assistance. If students come in more than once, or for anything significant, parent permission is required before further assistance can be given.

Referral to Local Agencies  Information about local resources and agencies that offer assistance to families is available upon request.

Lending Library for Parents  Helpful parenting books and videos are available in the counseling office for checkout.
