School Counseling Program
Our School Counseling program is designed to remove obstacles to learning, provide essential support, and empower students to succeed. The school counselors work closely with students, parents, and teachers to address academic, social, emotional, and behavioral needs. Direct services include classroom curriculum, small group counseling, individual student planning, and short-term counseling. Indirect services include outside referrals for long-term support, collaboration with families and external clinicians, and student advocacy in meetings.
Throughout the school year, grade-level counselors deliver classroom guidance lessons focused on social-emotional learning, following the American School Counseling Association National Model.
Parents who are concerned about their child should reach out to one of our school Counselors, Erin Claflin, at: eclaflin@sjs-needham.org or Glinda Meadows at: gmeadows@sjs-needham.org
