Guidance Classes Small Group Counseling Individual Counseling
I am so excited for our new school year! I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself and explain the different the roles that I have here. My name is Mrs. Cerny. I joined the Weston Elementary family as the School Counselor at the beginning of the 2016-2017 school year. I work with the students in many different capacities throughout the school year. My primary role is to work with children in the classroom through guidance lessons that focus on many different areas including success in school, coping with feelings, and making and keeping friends. Guidance lessons occur bi-weekly and are 30 minutes each. I also work with students in Small Groups. These students get a more individualized meeting to help work through specific topics that may have become a barrier to being the very best students they can be. I will offer groups on a variety of topics such as social skills, friendship, academic readiness and anger. All groups are formed based on the needs of the students. Individual counseling is another way that I work with students. It is student centered and solution focused, meaning I work with a student to process through specific stressors to find appropriate solutions to increase success. At times, these stressors range from divorce, to death of a loved one, to anger issues, to behavior problems and everything in between. Any student can request to meet with me. Not only can students request to meet with me, but a teacher, administrator, or parent can also refer them. Everyday I collaborate with teachers and the administrator about student needs. If you would like for me to meet with your child please do not hesitate to contact me. You can schedule an appointment by phone at 715.359.4181 ext. 5609 or by e-mail me at [email protected]. I encourage you to reach out if you have concerns regarding your child. I look forward to working together this year.
