School Counselors serve as a bridge between parents, staff, and community agencies. Our role is to encourage and support students to create aspirations, discover their strengths and identify their interests. We provide academic, social and emotional support and aid students' healthy transition to middle school. Throughout the school year your child's school counselor will hold academic meetings with students to review progress and help students build strong student habits.

School Counselors will provide counseling for social skills development and building healthy connections with peers and teachers. Social skills counseling can be in the form of individual meetings with students, peer mediations and support meetings with teachers. Your child will be able to explore their emotions while learning emotional regulation skills and how to effectively communicate and express feelings in a safe space. Our goal is to support our Tigers on their journey to being kind, empathetic, responsible global citizens.

School Social Workers provide support to help students and staff succeed at school socially, emotionally, behaviorally, and academically. We provide counseling services and crisis intervention services. School social workers support home, school and community collaboration which is the key to supporting and achieving student success.
