School Counseling Services
Middle school is an exciting, but frustrating time for students, as they move
through physical and psychological changes during their journey from childhood
to adolescence. Internal changes, coupled with the challenges of the outside
world, reinforce the goal of middle school counselors to teach students skills
to help them through this difficult stage of life and to use these skills on a
daily basis. To accomplish this, middle school counselors focus on academic,
career and personal/social development.
Our school counselors work with students in groups and individually, depending
on the nature of the problem, issue or topic. They provide transition activities
between elementary and middle school and middle school and high school. The
counselors support our Connections class (Meet, Greet and Connect, Advisory and
Activities) by participating in the development and implementation of the
teacher directed lesson plans/activities and by providing proactive,
prevention-based, classroom guidance presentations.
Working with teachers and administrators, counselors participate as members of
school improvement and interdisciplinary teams. They serve as consultants to
teachers and parents by providing information on meeting academic and emotional
needs, as well as, assisting parents and staff in looking at the whole child.
In the community, the school counselor serves as a coordinator and manager of
indirect services that assist students. The counselors are the liaisons between
the school and social services. They also collaborate with business and industry
to provide meaningful career exploration opportunities for all students.
School counselors have many duties and responsibilities related to designing and
implementing a comprehensive school counseling program. Therefore, counselors
need to concentrate on what they do best and what only they can do. All school
counselors are required to hold a masters degree and are typically the only
people in a school with formal training in both mental health and education.
Although school counselors are team players, who understand fair share
responsibilities within a school system, they cannot be fully effective when
they are taken away from essential counseling tasks to perform non-counseling
activities, such as registration, scheduling, administering tests, being a
disciplinarian, maintaining student records, and supervising study halls or
classes, but they are more than happy to be the students advocate in those
areas. Therefore, the majority of the counselors time will be devoted to
providing prevention strategies that all students need and deserve. The next
tier of the counselors time will be devoted to needs assessments and group
counseling services. As we take care of students needs through prevention and
group counseling, less time will need to be devoted to individual counseling,
which will allow us to concentrate on those students with the most immediate
needs first.
Our school counselors will strive to ensure that EVERY student has equitable
access to the school counseling program. They will serve ALL students through
proactive, prevention-based guidance presentations. Students who need additional
services will be given the opportunity to participate in small group counseling
sessions, with other students who are experiencing similar issues. If a student
has an immediate need or is in crisis, they will be seen for individual
counseling. Students who need ongoing therapy will be referred to outside
counseling and PSR services.
IDEA/Special Education
Eligible students are entitled to a free appropriate public education (FAPE).
FAPE includes special education and related services.
Free means at public expense. Appropriate means in conformance with an IEP that
meets legal requirements. Public means provided under public direction and
supervision. Education includes preschool, elementary, and secondary, but not
higher education. The district must provide related services that are necessary
to assist the student to benefit from special education. If a students does not
need special education he/she is not entitled to related services. In Idaho,
speech language therapy is defined as special education and can be a stand-alone
service.
Children ages 3 through 21 are eligible if they have a disability and need
special education. The law lists specific disability categories including
autism, deafness, blindness, developmental delay, emotional disturbance, hearing
impairment, cognitive retardation, orthopedic impairment, learning disability,
traumatic brain injury and visual impairment. The law does not require the
district to label a student by category of disability to provide services.
A team of qualified professionals and the parent (the evaluation team)
determines eligibility.
504
All age ranges of individuals who have, have had, or are regarded as having a
physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a major life activity
are protected. Life activities include walking, seeing, hearing, speaking,
breathing, learning, working, caring for ones-self and performing manual tasks.
The life activity that is affected does not have to be learning for a student to
have 504 protections at school. To be protected, and individual must be
"otherwise qualified" for the program or activity. Eligibility is determined by
a team of people. It is best practice to include parents on the team, but is not
required.
Substantially limits means that the student is:
Unable to perform a major life activity that the average student of
approximately the same age can perform OR
Significantly restricted as to the condition, manner or duration under which a
particular life activity is performed as compared toe the average student of
approximately the same age. The impairment must be substantial and somewhat
unique rather than commonplace, when compared to the average student of
approximately the same age. We must discount from the analysis any sub-par
performance due to other factors, such as a lack of motivation and the immediate
situation or environment. We must make an educated estimate of the mitigation of
medication.
School Within A School
Our School Within a School is designed for 7th & 8th grade students who:
*Have trouble passing traditional classes
*Have a sense of frustration in school
*Lack organizational and study skills
*Benefit from individual or small group experiences
Major components will include:
*Small class size to enhance individual and small group work
*7th and 8th grade curriculum, with high expectations
*After school homework program designed to make certain class work is completed
*Close partnership between teacher, student, and parent
*A single classroom setting which will promote a positive attitude for school
5th Grade Tours
In May, elementary students who will attend Lakes in the sixth grade are given a
tour of the school by current Lakes Middle School students. The incoming
students are introduced to both the school and the staff members.
Bully Prevention Video
Bullying is a problem in every school in the United States. Whether a student is
being bullied, bullied by others, or witnessing bullying behaviors, he/she is
being diminished by the experience. Bullying generally begins in the elementary
grades and peak in the sixth through eighth grades. As educators we need to pass
along more than just facts and information, students need to learn and develop
skills that will serve them throughout their lives. Hence, bully prevention
curriculum.
During the beginning of the year, all students will receive bully prevention
curriculum. The curriculum will be taught to the students during classroom hours
by the counselors and supported by the staff. During Bully Prevention Week
(usually the 2nd week in September), students view video that pertain to Bully
Prevention.
Suicide Prevention Video
Using a curriculum called S.O.S. Middle School Suicide Prevention Program that
includes both a video and curriculum the program is designed to reduce
depression, suicide and self-injury among students. The goal is to help students
recognize the symptoms of depression or warning signs of self-injury and/or
suicide in themselves or their friends and teach them the appropriate actions
they should take to get help. The program is not to tell whether students are
depressed but rather to inform them about whether they or their friends may have
symptoms that need further evaluation.
Why Try
The Why Try program is a strength-based approach to helping youth overcome their
challenges and improve outcomes in the areas of truancy, behavior, and
academics. It is based on sound, empirical principles, including Solution
Focused Brief Therapy, Social and Emotional Intelligence, and multi-sensory
learning.
The mission of Why Try To help people achieve opportunity, freedom, and
self-respect using education and interventions that motivate and create positive
change. We offer hope and an answer to the question "Why Try in life?"
Currently, Why Try is presented by the school counselor (Kelli Aiken, Debbie
Bridges, and Gwynn Crabtree) to all the 6th grade students during classroom
guidance. Starting next year, the counselors will also be using the Why Try
curriculum with students in a group setting.

HOW TO GET STARTED IN BAND
1. The students will meet with Mr. Duke at the start of the 6th grade school
year for an introduction to instrumental music.
2. After consultation with Mr. Duke, parents and students decide on the
appropriate instrument.
3. Attend an evening informational meeting for parents. Check with Mr. Duke for
specific time and date. Options for acquiring your instrument will be presented
at that time.
The standard band instruments for the Coeur d'Alene School District are as
follows:
Flute Trombone

school year is very difficult for the student without private instruction over
the summer.
Jazz Band
Participation in the jazz band is a privilege; it is the students
responsibility to read outside the Links period. All Accelerated Reader
quizzes and tests must be taken on the students time before school, at lunch,
or during free time in a teachers classroom. The students grade in Links
will be averaged using the grade earned from Accelerated Reader and the grade
earned from Jazz Band.
The student must be enrolled in one of the core performing groups at Lakes to be
eligible to be in jazz band. This is a policy among all secondary music programs
in the Coeur dAlene School District. The policy is designed to protect

7th grade Health class. High School mentors, trained by the Panhandle Health
District, meet once a week for six weeks with the health classes to encourage

Positive Behavior Support (PBS)-
WHAT IS SCHOOL-WIDE PBS?
School-wide Positive Behavior Support focuses attention on school-wide,
classroom and individual systems of support that improve lifestyle results
(personal, health, social, family, work, recreation) for all children and youth
by making problem behavior less effective, efficient, or relevant, and desired
behavior more functional. PBS practices include teaching and recognizing
students for complying with a small set of basic rules of conduct.
Lakes Middle School High Five Expectations:
Be Safe
Be Respectful
Be Responsible
Be Kind
Be Prepared
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO FOCUS ON TEACHING POSITIVE SOCIAL BEHAVIORS?
In the past, school-wide discipline has focused mainly on reacting to specific
student misbehavior by implementing punishment-based strategies including
reprimands, loss of privileges, office referrals, suspensions, and expulsions.
Research has shown than the implementation of punishment, especially when it is
used inconsistently and in the absences of other positive strategies, is
ineffective.
SAK Lunch Thursday (girls)

and school issues as well as challenge the girls to live Godly lives.

Child Protective Services
Keeping children safe is one of our primary goals at Health and Welfare.
Services are designed to help protect children, while providing supports to
strengthen families to prevent abuse and neglect. If a child is being abused or
neglected, the Department works as part of a team with law enforcement and the
courts to protect the health and safety of each child.
Whenever possible, children should remain with their family. If law enforcement
or the Department receives a referral of abuse or neglect, we:
o Look into the concern;
o Notify the family of the referral;
o Assess the situation; and
o Offer services to reduce safety concerns.
If a child needs to be removed from their family for safety, we will work with
each family to lower the safety concerns so the child can be returned home as
soon as it is safe.If you suspect a child is being abused or neglected, call us.
We are here to help.

Reading Is The Ticket- Silverwood
Reading Is The Ticket is a recreational reading program for teachers to use with
students in grades K-8. The program is designed to encourage students to read
for fun. Studies show that after children learn how to read, the actual time
they spend reading declines steadily in successive grades. Getting kids to read
for fun, not just for assignments is an all-important literacy goal. The Reading
Is the Ticket Program is mean to help teachers instill in their students a
lifelong love of reading.
Every student who completes 10 hours or 600 minutes of recreational reading will
earn a ticket good for free admission to Silverwood Theme Park. Tickets will be
valid from June 9th October 7th, 2007 (excluding Saturdays in July and
August). Students are required to complete a Tally Sheet that includes what
material was read (must not include reading to complete school assignments), the
number of minutes the child spent reading, and the date and parent signature
verifying this information.
