School Counseling Program

  • Elementary school counselors  assist and guide students in reaching their social, academic and emotional goals. School Counselors provide individual, small-group, and classroom guidance services to help students achieve  these goals.

    We work together with school staff, parents and community members to help make school a successful experience.

    School Counselors can help in the screening and identification process for students with special needs, assist with crisis intervention and conflict resolution and act as a referring agent for outside service. We serve the needs of ALL elementary students.
