Dear Parents
and Community Members,
At the end of June, Gloria Jefferson retired after 33 years of service
in the district. Her commitment to the school will be greatly missed.
My name is Ms. Roshelle Green, and I am the new Guidance Counselor for
grades 9-12 in the High School. Many families already know me because I
have worked in the district for eleven years. For those of you who are
unfamiliar with me, I taught eighth grade math, third grade, and coached
the girls’ varsity basketball team. I hope to utilize my experience in
the district to help prepare the students of Farrell Area School
District to succeed in their post-secondary adventures.
I feel our students need
to create an ACTION PLAN
before they graduate. Therefore, I will meet with all Seniors
individually during the first two weeks of school to discuss their post
graduation ideas and plans. Before every senior graduates, I would like
to have this ACTION PLAN
in place. I plan to achieve this goal by sending a newsletter home
every month that explains helpful tips and strategies to assist your
child plan his/her future. In addition to the newsletter, I will be
conducting workshops that cover relevant information for students going
into college or for those students who want technical or job training.
I am truly excited for
the challenge to work as hard as I can to help all of our students
succeed during this school year and after graduation.
Finally, if you have any
questions, concerns, or need information about your child's options in
school and beyond, please don't hesitate to call me at 724-509-1255.
Sincerely yours,
Roshelle M. Green
H.S. Counselor
The Farrell Area School District
supports the American School Counselor Association's National Model. The ASCA
model is also recommended by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. The
links and information below can also be found on the
ASCA web site.
"ASCA's National Model: A Foundation for School Counseling
Programs" reflects a comprehensive approach to program foundation, delivery,
management and accountability. The model provides the mechanism with which
school counselors and school counseling teams will design, coordinate,
implement, manage and evaluate their programs for students' success. It
provides a framework for the program components, the school counselor's role
in implementation and the underlying philosophies of leadership, advocacy
and systemic change. When implementing a National Model-based program,
school counselors switch their emphasis from service-centered for some of
the students to program-centered for every student. It not only answers the
question, "What do school counselors do?" but requires school counselors to
respond to the question, "How are students different as a result of what we
do?"
