MAKING A REFERRAL

Recognizing Warning Signs   

Parents & Teachers can look for warning signs of a possible crisis situation by noticing students who are:

• Socially withdrawn                                                               
• Isolated/Rejected Victimized     
• Disinterested in school
• Violent/Exhibit uncontrolled anger and aggression

Know When To Refer

If you notice that your child/student is not their typical self or seem agitated or disengaged.  Students can be referred for counseling regarding academics, personal/social issues, grief, college and career readiness or other issues that seem beyond the scope of a classroom teacher.    

Some reasons your student may request to see the school counselor:

• Academic skills support
• College and career exploration
• School adjustment issues
• Coping, problem-solving, decision-making concerns
• Organizational, study and test-taking skills
• Peer relationships and conflict resolution problems 
• Divorce, separation and family changes
• Experiencing loss, death and grief
• Crisis situations
• Multicultural/diversity awareness
• School-based and community resources information or referral

What is Bullying?

Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time.

If you are a staff member who witnesses bullying or if an incident is reported to you, you are required by GCS to report it to the principal.

When someone reports potential bullying, they will be asked to fill out a form about the incident so it can be investigated. Then, an administrator will speak with the people involved and provide any support that is needed.
