Personalized 1:1 Meetings |
In Humble ISD, we believe in a personalized approach to counseling. Each elementary student will receive one individual meeting each year with their counselor. In these meetings, students will explore their goals and aspirations, and discuss the options for their personal path in Humble ISD. Additionally, counselors will be working with students and teachers in the classroom to provide additional avenues for student success. This partnership gives Humble ISD students a unique approach to meeting their personal goals, career pathways, and setting them up for success.I'm a new paragraph block. |

The purpose of 1:1 individual meetings is to provide a more personalized counseling experience to students across the campus. These meetings provide a whole child approach to ensuring that students are identifying their own strengths, goals, and challenges, while also building connections at school, home, and within the community. The individual meeting allows counselors to personalize continued support as needed throughout the school year.
This semester your school counselor will be meeting with 3rd, 4th, and 5th grader with consent for school counseling services.

One of our roles as school counselors is facilitating small groups. The purpose of these small groups is to provide a safe environment for sharing, giving and receiving feedback, practicing new skills and increasing awareness so that students can feel successful in the learning environment. Students may be referred to the ASE's grade level School Counselor for small group counseling by their parents or guardians, school faculty and staff, a concerned friend, or themselves. Small Groups will be offered in the following areas: Optimistic Thinking Self-Management Relationship Skills Goal-Directed Behavior If you are interested in more information regarding one of the small groups above, please email your student's counselor.

The Red Ribbon became a symbol for drug prevention in 1985, in response to the murder of DEA Special Agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena. Informed Families started the first county-wide Red Ribbon campaign in 1986. In 1988, NFP sponsored the first National Red Ribbon Week® celebration. Today, the Red Ribbon serves as a catalyst to mobilize communities to educate youth and encourage participation in drug prevention activities. Since that time, the campaign has reached millions of U.S. children and families.
