Special Student Services
Counseling support
We provide counseling services to students. In all
counseling situations, confidentiality is vigorously maintained. Personal
information is not revealed to any person not directly involved with the
student.
Meeting individual needs
Sometimes a child may experience academic difficulties. In
these cases special instructors will assist students, either individually or in
small groups. In addition, a school counselor is available to students to work
on social and emotional issues. Confidentiality is vigorously maintained.
Student study committee
This committee addresses academic and behavioral
difficulties that students sometimes face. When teachers observe consistent
problems, they discuss the situation with the student study committee.
Initially the committee recommends a variety of paths the teacher may take to
try to resolve the student's problem. If problems continue, the student is then
referred to the school counselor.
Retention
Ullens is committed to helping every child be successful. If there is any doubt about the future of a student at Ullens, the School works extensively with the parents to understand and resolve issues. Ullens does not believe in retention as research shows this is not an effective strategy.
