We are here for your kids and will do anything we can
to help make
their
school years a rewarding, positive experience!
Schedule:
Michelle Montoya - Full Time
Laura Adams -
Tuesdays only
Focus areas:
- Classroom guidance: We teach 14-16 classroom lessons
in every classroom throughout the school year. Mrs. Gorcczyca ("Mrs.
G") teaches kindergarten through 4th Grade, and Mrs. Adams teaches 5th
and 6th Grades. Our curriculum is listed on the web site.
- Small groups: We offer a variety of groups throughout
the year. They may include study skills, friendship, anger management,
family changes & anxiety.
- Individual work with students: We often work with
individual students that are referred by their classroom teachers,
parents or who self refer for assistance with school or person issues.
- Parent education: Sue Gorczyca has taught Parent Ed.
classes for 20 years and has focused on “Parenting Your Teenagers.” We
encourage you to take a class if you want to get some new ideas and
meet other parents who are in the “same boat”.
- Parent/staff consultation: We regularly work with
parents who have concerns about their child’s progress, (academic or
social), home issues, and a host of other concerns. We will be
glad to talk with you and assist you with anything that we can.
Sue Gorczyca is also our school’s liaison for homeless education and
resources for families that are struggling.
- Other: We meet with new students in grades 1-6 to get
to know them. We display their picture and first names on a
special bulletin board near our lunchroom. Being new is difficult
and we want every student to feel especially welcomed so we provide a
bag of goodies for our “NU2U” students!
