Guidance Counseling

The role of Guidance within the Mater Christi community is to foster a positive and healthy school climate as well as advocating for students struggling with social and emotional problems. Our full-time guidance counselor serves students Pre-School through Grade 8 with periodic visits to the classrooms to implement lessons about social thinking, character education, and anti-bullying activities to promote tolerance.

Students are able to go to the Guidance office on an individual basis as well. Considering the varied range of developmental stages, it is important to teach students different strategies for a wide range of issues common among children and adolescents. There is an opportunity to help students build stronger social skills by practicing turn taking, using manners, and gaining a greater awareness of their own person space through Lunch Bunches.

Confidentiality in accordance with FERPA laws (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) will be maintained in all communications and correspondence with Mater Christi School students and families.

“At no other time has the confluence of values and education been more of a necessity of our children and community. We are grateful and proud of the educational and moral influence that Mater Christi has had on our children and the foundation this school and community has helped lay for their success in high school, college and the real world. Mater Christi School has always led the way, and a deep connection with the needs of the community will continue to guide the mission and scope of the school. We believe Mater Christi is on the right path to fulfill its mission and purpose here in Burlington.”
