Small groups are created to help address student needs. Teacher input as well as classroom observations is used to help create groups. Parent permission is required for a student to be involved in a group. Each group typically consists of 6-8 students and meets one to two times a week for about 6 weeks. Below are some of the groups that may occur throughout the school year.
- Social Skills
- Conflict Resolution
- Anger Management

At Northwoods Elementary School we believe:
All students achieve and meet high standards that will result in college and job ready skills.
Student developmental needs are best met by implementing a comprehensive school counseling program that is planned, managed, delivered and evaluated by licensed professional school counselors.
Data must be analyzed and developed into goals that guide the comprehensive school counseling program which promotes student achievement.
Licensed Professional School Counselors adhere to ASCA Ethical Standards to promote the maximum development of every student.
