Classroom Guidance
Classroom Guidance is an important part of the counseling program here at LCPS. Through lessons in the classroom, I promote responsible choices and healthy development. Topics and themes include anti-bullying, positive peer relations, responsible choices, abuse prevention, and career choices—all at a developmentally appropriate level.
Section 504
If your child is having academic difficulties, the best thing you can do is schedule a meeting with your child's teacher and follow through with homework. If these steps are not enough, there are a variety of ways to address academic challenges. If your student qualifies for a Section 504 plan, we can assist you.
