Guardians & Counselling.

Adolescence can be a challenging time for both students and parents. Our counseling office provides

assistance to students, parents and families dealing with academic, social and emotional issues. The guidance counselor runs the counseling and guidance program. The counselor is supported by a learning resource teacher and an ESOL specialist. Tutors are available on a referral basis when the need for such services arises.

One counselor is responsible for the needs of students in grades 9, 10, 11 & 12. Services provided

include individual, academic, and personal counseling. The counselor is in regular contact with each

student and maintains close communication with parents. In addressing the needs of students with

academic problems, the counselor relies on information and advice provided by faculty at regular

meetings.

Advisory and Grade-Level Activities Program

Each student in the school is assigned an advisor at the beginning of the school year. The purpose of the advisory system is to provide a faculty member who takes an active concern in the academic and social welfare of each student. Advisors and advisees (usually 8-10 students to a group) meet weekly. Approximately twice a month, meetings are devoted to grade-level activities, academic and activity planning, college and career counseling (especially for grades 11 and 12), relationship building, self-awareness activities, and current issues that are happening in the SRIC  community. The program is coordinated by the Guidance Counselor and is adjusted to the needs of students at each grade level.

SRIC  is a Strengths Quest and Developmental Asset (SQDA) school. All students in grades 9-12 will have their strengths identified and be a part of advisor or grade level sessions how to better understand and use their strengths in various settings.

Academic At-Risk Program

The purpose of the academic at-risk program is to provide low-performing students with support in a number of areas, all of which are designed to improve their academic performance. This is a two tiered program with specific interventions for students at each level. This goal is accomplished through a number of means:

  • • Provide regular feedback for students and parents on classroom performance.

  • • Hold students accountable for academic performance.

  • • Provide structures for remediation.

  • • Involve parents in their child’s academic performance and improving work habits.
