Role of the School Counselor
School counselors help all students in the areas of personal/social development, academic achievement, and career development. School counselors differ from mental health counselors. If you would like a list of local mental health providers, please visit the ‘Human Services Directory’ listed below in the ‘Helpful Links’ section.

Ms. Nasadoski works at Warren Street, Glebe Street and Pleasant Avenue schools. She helps students both on an individual basis and primarily in groups. She also visits classrooms throughout the school year.

Ms. Nasadoski’s Schedule:
Monday- Warren St.
Tuesday- Warren St.
Wednesday - Glebe St.
Thursday- Pleasant Ave.
Friday- Pleasant Ave.

Classroom Guidance
The Yello Dyno is visiting classrooms with Ms. Nasadoski! The Yello Dyno curriculum teaches students safety skills for a lifetime and helps protect them against abduction, bullying, child abuse, drug abuse and violent kids.

Students are learning the safety rules:

  • I Can Yell the Yello Dyno yell
  • I Am Aware of Tricky People
  • I Know How to Use 911
  • I Trust My Feelings
  • I Know my Body's Mine
  • I Can Say "NO!"
  • I can Go to the "Right Strangers" for Help
  • I Am Worth Keeping Safe

Banana Splits Groups
What is “Banana Splits?”
“Banana Splits” is a peer support group for students who are facing issues of separation or divorce.

When is it?
“Banana Splits” will take place either before school at 8:40 a.m. or after school at 3:10 p.m., depending upon the school building. Students in each grade level, whose families are separated or divorced, will have the opportunity to participate throughout the school year.

What do we do?

We try to help each other by talking and sharing our feelings. If we don’t have much to talk about, we play games and work on projects that build our confidence and encourage skills such as communication and teamwork. “Banana Splits” encourages children to see that they are not alone, explore how to help themselves feel better, and increase communication at home.

Do many kids join?
I
n every school building, there were “Banana Splits” members from each class in Kindergarten through sixth grade.

How do you join?
Permission slips will be sent home before the group is scheduled to begin. Simply fill it out and return it to school.
