Welcome to Mrs. Bateman’s
Guidance Department Web Page
Announcements:
Welcome!
I am looking forward to another great year at Arrowhead. Guidance
and counseling services are available for all of our students. Every
classroom will be visited monthly by the counselor to work on age-appropriate
developmental/academic topics.
Counseling:
Counseling
services are provided for students on an individual or small group
basis to work on issues that have a negative impact on the student’s
academic success. School counselors do not provide therapy.
General Information:
Student
referrals may come from many different sources, such as the student
him/herself, parents, teachers, administrators, etc. The primary goal
is to enhance the student’s chances for success in school.
FAQ:
Is
parental permission required for a student to see the school counselor?
No.
The counselor serves as one of many support persons on the staff.
Permission is not required for a student to receive any of these resources.
Teacher:
Mrs.
Bateman has a Master’s Degree in Guidance and Counseling from
Old Dominion University. She was a classroom teacher for twelve years
prior to becoming a school counselor.
