Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s):
My name is Millini Matheny and
I would like to introduce myself to you as the School Counselor
at Riverdale Elementary School. I am entering my 22nd year as an educator and
I am thrilled to be your school counselor! I look forward to working with you and your child this year, and I
will make every effort to see that your child receives as much personal
assistance as possible.
The School Counseling program
at Riverdale Elementary is based on the American School Counseling
Association Model and our district standards. It includes a variety of services for
ALL students and is designed to assist with interests and issues related to the
stages of student growth in the areas of academic, career, personal, emotional,
and social development.
The following services will be offered
for the 2020-21 school year:
·Small group counseling sessions, with
parent permission, for students focusing on: divorce, grief, study skills,
friendship/social skills, and anger management. If you feel that your child
needs assistance in any of these areas please let me know.
·Individual meetings
to help students adjust to school or help with personal issues on an as needed
basis.
·Classroom guidance
lessons with emphasis on personal/social skills, bullying prevention, child
protection, academic development (study skills), and career awareness. I see every class in the building at
least once a month.
·Referral assistance
to other programs and services in the community.
If you have any questions regarding the
counseling program, please contact me directly at (678) 271-8850 or email me at Millini.Matheny@clayton.k12.ga.us. You can also access parent resources and make referrals on
my website. I look forward to working together with you this year to help
ensure your child’s success in school and life in general. We are going to have a great year!
