Primary Project

The Primary Project at GP is an early intervention program designed to help children with school adjustment, leading to a more positive school experience.  Children selected to participate are helped to develop positive self images, practice appropriate social skills and model behaviors that will promote learning. Students are recommended by classroom teachers, school professionals or parents as being children who would benefit from this program.  A trained child associate meets individually with selected students once a week to provide one-on-one attention and caring support.  They engage in playroom activities geared toward meeting goals established by the school staff.  Crafts, puppets, toys, games, role playing and discussion are used to help children develop good social skills, increase self confidence, and/or decrease acting out behavior. On occasion, a classmate might be invited to come along to provide a peer relationship.

Parent input, suggestions, and conferences are welcome.  If you would like more information about Primary Project, please call the school guidance counselor, Jeanne Shea, or the child associate, Susan Primmer, at 433-8288. Back to Oneonta School District Page Back to GPs Home page
