What is a School Counselor?

 

A School Counselor is a part of the educational team that supports students in the areas of academic achievement, career and social/emotional development. We work with students, staff, parents, and the community to ensure that all students are prepared to become future productive citizens.

What is an Elementary School Counselor's Role?

 

A school counselor is a special person at your child's school for whom your child can talk when something is wrong. Children usually talk to a counselor if they are sad, mad, scared, frustrated, etc.  Some of the things a child can talk to a counselor about are:

  • If parents are fighting, separating or getting a divorce
  • If someone they care about moves away or dies (this includes pets)
  • If the child is upset or fighting with someone else
  • If they are having bad dreams
  • If they are having friend issues
