    The Cumming Elementary Counseling Department believes in the personal potential of each student.  One of the many services offered by your student's school counselor are small groups. These groups meet weekly or biweekly for approximately 6 to 8 weeks. The sessions are designed to help students improve their classroom behavior, support academic progress, assist them in gaining insight into themselves and others, enhance self concept, and achieve skills in problem solving, deision making, and social interactions.  There are many reasons a student may be referred to join a small group. Teachers, family members, or school counselors may refer a student if we see they may need additional support or could be a peer leader for others. Student may even refer themselves because they enjoy the activities that make social emotional learning fun!
     
    We offer many different small groups throughout the school year. If you would like to learn more about current or future groups, please reach out to your student's school counselor.
