Overview
The Coastal Plains Student Services Department is composed of each site’s guidance counselors, graduation coaches, social workers, career specialists, team coordinators and mentors. The department has developed a comprehensive plan to implement and monitor programs and services that support the counseling, assessment, referral, educational, and career planning needs of its diverse student population.
These include:
1) graduation planning program
2) career services
3) career and college field trips
4) enrichment field trips
5) student support groups (i.e., new moms, anger management, domestic violence, etc.)
6) individual counseling services
7) family support activities
8) graduation barrier identification process
9) gas card program
10) home visit program
11) Student and Staff Wellness
This also includes a concerted effort to maintain close working relationships with outside community agencies. Through their coordinated efforts, the department ensures that Bridge Bill requirements for student career planning services are fulfilled. A referral process for special education evaluation has been established. Students with disabilities are routinely referred to Vocational Rehabilitation, whose counselors meet with students on campus, when possible.
As students focus on getting their diplomas, they sometimes forget that after finishing high school, a new beginning starts. We at Coastal Plains encourage students to start making post-secondary plans long before their senior year so that they are ready to make important decisions about their future before they graduate. Additionally, we contact graduates to offer assistance and support as they work to meet their career goals following graduation.
All Coastal Plains students will complete the TOOLS for College course. Students will work with the Counselor and Social Worker to complete this course. The Tools Course is a .5 credit course. The Course will include separate curriculum components of GaDOE Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) topics using NEW Edgenuity SEL Courses.
Additionally, all students need to register at http://www.gcic.peachnet.edu. This website, created by the Georgia Student Finance Commission, helps students as they plan, apply for, and pay for college. The HOPE eligibility is calculated on this website, so it is important that all students register. Students can learn the difference between the Hope Scholarship and the Hope Grant, and learn how to qualify and apply for those funds on this website. It also has career assessments, information about colleges and financial aid, and a personal profile section for students to use in planning their futures.
