Elementary
Guidance Program at JCS
The students come first here @ JCS.
This can be found in our Mission Statement. We are “Leading
students to love God by providing the opportunity for a quality
values oriented education in a Christian environment”. In light
of our mission we will do everything for the encouragement and
uplifting of our student body in ways that honor God and our
students.
Individual components of the guidance curriculum at JCS
elementary include, but are not limited to, the following broad
categories.
--Individual student need for Christian counseling will be
available. Common reasons that a student will seek the
counselor’s assistance are as follows: grief counseling,
struggles related to family issues, school-related interventions
(student to student, student to teacher, bullying and behavior
issues).
--Relations between students and all others will seek to be
enhanced.
--Student’s will be encouraged to improve in the areas of
safety, self concept, responsibility /obedience, behavior,
decision making skills, interpersonal and intrapersonal
communication, achievement motivation, and problem solving
skills.
--Being involved in the lives of our students is a vital
component of counseling. The guidance counselor is involved in
elementary classes on a weekly basis for this reason.
--Counseling classes here at JCS will have an emphasis on
spiritual development including songs, prayer, moral stories
including but not limited to the Bible. Students will be
introduced to a related song and uplifting story during each
lesson.
