Guidance and Counseling

  • Guidance and Counseling 

    Guidance and counseling is an integral part of Bowles' total educational program.  The counselor extends a hand to all children, not just the problem or troubled child.  The counseling program assists students in acquiring the skills and attitudes necessary to be successful learners.  It emphasizes that the classroom is a child's first workplace and that communication, decision-making, interpersonal, and career awareness skills are important to their success.

    Bowles is fortunate to have Mrs. Gravlin as its counselor. Mrs. Gravlin is at our school every day and works with all students.
