The elementary guidance program offers developmental classes for all grades kindergarten through fifth grade. Along with the in-class sessions of developmental guidance, we also offer small and individual groups on an as needed basis. Parental involvement is welcomed and encouraged.

The Guidance Department also works with the Hales Corners Police Department to provide a D.A.R.E. Program in 5th grade. The title D.A.R.E. stands for (Drug Abuse Resistance Education).

From the D.A.R.E. website
This program is a highly acclaimed program that gives kids the skills they need to avoid involvement in drugs, gangs, and violence. D.A.R.E. was founded in 1983 in Los Angeles and has proven so successful that it is now being implemented in 75 percent of our nation's school districts and in more than 43 countries around the world. D.A.R.E. is a police officer-led series of classroom lessons that teaches children from kindergarten through 12th grade how to resist peer pressure and live productive drug and violence-free lives.
