ROCKY RIVER BOARD OF EDUCATION - Rocky River City Schools

Guidance Services – Large group guidance services are offered to all students at Goldwood Primary School through the
classroom guidance program. Each year the school counselor visits the classroom and presents lessons on special topics.
These topics include self-esteem, group interactions, and the pillars of character.
Small Group Counseling is designed for students who have similar needs. The school counselor works with new students,
children from single parent or divorced families, as well as other groups, which may be needed during the school year. In
the past some of these groups discussed motivation topics, social interaction and positive awareness of self and others.
Individual counseling is available to students on an as needed basis. Any student may see the school counselor by self,
parent, or teacher request. Parents are encouraged to call the guidance office if they have any special requests.
Material Resources - Materials at various instructional levels selected for use with students with a variety of learning
styles are maintained in the Learning Resource Center.
English as a Second Language - Instruction provided in the English language for students whose first acquired language
is other than English. Major emphasis of the program is placed on oral communication and developing and
understanding of the English language.
Psychological Services - Psychological services include psycho-educational evaluation, consultation with teachers and
parents, and counseling by the school psychologist.
Speech/Language/Hearing Services - Individual and small group services are provided by a speech/language/hearing
therapist in the Rocky River City School District. Assistance is designed to help those children with significant difficulties
in oral language and speaking vocabulary, articulation, fluency, voice quality and listening skills.
Application Procedure - Requests for Learning Resource Services may be initiated by school personnel, parents, or
students. Parents may apply for services by contacting the school principal, counselors, coordinator or director of
