There are a number of problem-solving collaborations that are run through the counseling office based off of teacher, parent, administration, student, and staff recommendations. Highlighted below are a couple of those collaborative interventions which may be used to assist students throughout the year.
Staffings - Staffings are generally held at the request of parents, teachers, or administrators. They are held before or after school and generally involve parents/guardians, teachers, and anyone else in the school knowledgeable about the student. Facilitated by the counselor, they are a way for everyone to get updates on student progress, and to problem-solve together to work on ways to best help students succeed at Maywood.
Guidance Team - Guidance team is a general education process designed to help educators and parents problem solve. The team is comprised of School Guidance Counselors, School Psychologist, Speech Language Pathologist, Occupational Therapist, Teachers, Parents and other School Professionals as needed.
