Goal of the counseling program

The goal of the Norman Park Elementary School Counseling Program is to deliver a comprehensive program to address the academic, personal/social, and career development of all studetns.  Development in these areas are addressed through classroom guidance lessons, small group counseling, and individualized counseling sessions.  Classroom guidance is taught, by the school counselor, to all students in kindergarten through fifth grade. These lessons focus on the character education theme of  the month, the Georgia Department of Education's career lessons, and personal safety and abuse prevention lessons (Monique Burr Foundation).

PBIS at Norman Park
(Positive Behavioral interventions and supports of GEORGIA)

Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a framework proven to reduce disciplinary incidents, increase a school's sense of safety and support improved academic outcomes.
Norman Park Elementary is committed to implementing the PBIS program and uses our 3 expectations to remind students of their responsibility throughout the school day.  

Be Respectful
Be Responsible
Be Safe

Students are also reminded to PARK when facing a difficult situation.

Pause to breathe
And
Respond
Kindly 

Students who are following these expectations are acknowledged through classroom acknowledgement systems, “Golden” awards, and PBIS events throughout the year.
