The 3rd - 5th grade reading intervention program assists students in mastering grade level TEKS through small group instruction.  Intervention classes meet one to three times per week and focus on decoding, fluency, and comprehension skills.  Starting in January, intervention groups often reinforce test-taking strategies and objectives in order to prepare for the state-mandated TAKS test.

Students are primarily identified for reading intervention by their teacher.  However, parents who are concerned about their child's reading performance can refer their child to the reading department for additional screenings and assessments.  Parents are also encouraged to visit the reading department to get information about helping their child become a lifelong reader at home.

The Counseling program at NFCS offers a variety of services to the students of NFCS.  Classroom developmental guidance lessons are taught in the classroom in order to support our Character Education and Safe & Drug Free programs.  Brief individual and group guidance is also something that is offered to students to address academic, social and emotional needs of some students.  Trainings and consultations are offered to staff, parents, and community members regarding special education referrals, signs and symptoms of child abuse, possible 504 referrals, etc.  The coordination of resources in the school and the community is done in our counseling department in order to help students fulfill their fullest academic, personal, and social development.  The Parent Involvement Program is also headed by the Counseling Department.  Please make sure to contact our Guidance Counselor, Mrs. Arshad if you are interested in becoming a parent volunteer in the 2007-2008 school year.
