The counseling department at Ladonia strives to meet the social/emotional, academic, and career goals of all students. Biweekly classroom lessons are taught across grades K-5 with these topics in mind. Students are also met with on a one-on-one and small group basis based on recommendations from teachers, parents, and the students themselves.
