The school counselor serves the needs of all our students. She helps them develop, academically, socially and emotionally.

A variety of services are provided:

Elementary counselors present regularly scheduled classroom lessons to all students in grades Pre-Kinder through fifth.

The elementary guidance curriculum is child-centered and developmental according to

the characteristics and needs of each child and grade level.

The curriculum encourages students to:
- develop positive self-image
- become more aware of the relationships between themselves and others.
- recognize their own needs and goals.

Elementary school counselors meet individually with students to

provide support for school-related issues.

The counseling strategies vary with each student's needs

and are provided on a short-term basis as determined

by the school counselor.

Students can refer themselves to the counselor or can be referred by parents,

teachers, or other school staff.
