We are fortunate to have one full time guidance counselor at each of our elementary schools. The role of our elementary guidance counselors is multi-faceted. Guidance counselors provide weekly lessons to students in their classroom setting. Their curriculum addresses topics such as: responsibility, respect, self advocacy, bullying, safety, and more. They also work with small groups of students on social skills, listening, and working with others. Our counselors may also provide more directed individual counseling. All students in our schools know their guidance counselor well, they are trusted adults and students are eager to learn and interact with them.
