Guidance/Counseling
Guidance – – CHP is committed to developing social skills and a positive attitude. The Guidance Counselor meets with students from Preschool through Grade 8 to help them transition into school routines. Older children meet in smaller “Lunch Bunch” groups to discuss specific issues of concern. By Middle School, students feel comfortable enough that they reach out to the Guidance Counselor on an as needed basis. At all levels, students are given strategies about how to interact with other students, to recognize and deal with conflict in a healthy manner.
Anjalee Patel is our Guidance Counselor, and a constant supportive presence for all CHP students. She works directly with our youngest students as a Character Education Teacher, in order to teach them to identify various emotions and to model appropriate peer interactions, instilling the lessons in them that will shape them as respectful and responsible members of our community from an early age. Anjalee explains her dedication to the school, “I love working with children of all ages and truly making a difference in their lives. It is refreshing how children can teach us to perceive things in new ways. They truly are amazing!”
As we navigate a full return to in-person learning the emotional well-being of all of our students remains one of our top priorities. The challenges of last year have taken a widespread toll for so many people, but at CHP we are devoted to growing as a community and maintaining a support system for each other. Our guidance program is a central and essential part of that system. At Cedar Hill Prep the same collaborative spirit that has always guided us remains and we have never been prouder to be able to identify ourselves as a healthy, constructive home away from home for every student that is a part of our school.
