Welcome to the Pupil Services Department
Pupil Services Team
Life is an adventure; there are days when it is exciting and fun, but it can also be overwhelming and hard to understand. Sometimes there are situations in a child’s life that make it difficult to deal with the day-to-day expectations here at school: anger and frustration issues, changes or problems with the family system at home that affect school performance, learning difficulties, anxiety over schoolwork and testing, low self-esteem, peer conflicts, etc.
Our goal is to provide a caring, supportive environment for your child to be successful academically, socially, and emotionally.
The Pupil Services Team at Greene Central School includes School Counselors, School Psychologists, and School Nurses.
The school years set the tone for developing the skills, knowledge, and attitudes necessary for our children to become healthy, productive adults. School Counselors work with the goal of assisting in the development of all students. In order to meet student needs, counselors work as a team with educators, parents, and community members to create a caring atmosphere whereby children's needs are met through prevention, early identification, and intervention. At Greene, these services include:
- Individual & group counseling (CSE & non-CSE students)
- Character Education Development
- Academic, Career, and Personal/Social Development of each student
- Classroom Guidance Lessons
- Response To Intervention (RTI)
