The Saint Thomas More School Guidance and Counseling program, called Life Skills, is structured around four goals:
• |
Learning to Live |
• |
Learning to Love |
• |
Learning to Learn |
• |
Learning to Make a Living |
Our counselor believes that as children grow they face and solve certain problems universal in human life. Therefore, the Life Skills curriculum is proactive and directed at all students by teaching topics that are developmental and preventative. The program is age appropriate and provides experiences and discussion that allow students the opportunity to learn about themselves and others.
The counselor is responsible for coordinating services for psychological or educational testing, teaching the Life Skills curriculum to grades K, 2, 4, 6 and 8, meeting with small groups or individuals on an as-needed basis, and working as the school’s liaison with others in the community who work with our families.
The Counselor is committed to all Saint Thomas More families and is available for at-home discussions. A small resource library of videos and printed materials on parenting issues is available in the Counselor’s office. Please feel free to call Mrs. Fleming at 404-377-4520 or email her at nfleming@stmga.org for more information.
Birds and Bees
Parents have been looking for books about puberty to read with their child. Mrs. Fleming called on some experts for help in this area. Those ‘experts’ are Mrs. Ayala, mother of a son William, and Mrs. Tirella, mother of a daughter, Talia. They came up with these selections. You can check these books out for your use at home. The books are in Mrs. Fleming’s office. Don’t worry, we can send them to you in a brown paper wrapper! Or better yet, come by and look them over before you decide.
