Elementary Guidance and Counseling services are defined through the Penn Hills School District Comprehensive Guidance Plan. The early identification of children in need of special attention is the main purpose of the elementary guidance program so that educational planning can be facilitated in the best interest of the child's school adjustment. Guidance and Counseling services at the elementary level include classroom lessons, as well as individual and small group sessions related to social and emotional development.

Elementary Student Assistance Program

Students struggling to achieve academic, behavioral and/or social success despite supports offered within the classroom or school setting may be referred through our Multi-Tiered System of Supports process to Tier III supports via our Elementary Student Assistance Program. Through this program, students and families are connected to support via Allegheny Children’s Initiative, who contracts with the Penn Hills School District to provide ESAP services. Allegheny Children’s Initiative can provide support to the student by assisting the student and his/her family by identifying risk factors, sharing positive school-based strategies and providing referrals to additional outside agency resources. Our ESAP team can also make referrals to the C.O.O.L Zone Program sponsored by Matilda Theiss of UPMC.
