What is a School Counselor?
As a school counselor, I am an educator trained in school counseling, just as other educators are trained in math, science, or language arts. My goal at Macon Elementary is to develop, implement, and evaluate a comprehensive school counseling program designed to meet the needs of ALL students.
Counseling Services
Individual Counseling
Assistance provided to some students who may need help to overcome social and/or emotional concerns that interfere with learning.
Group Counseling
A support group for students who share a common concern. Parent permission is required to participate.
Classroom Lessons
Lessons are taught within the Specials rotation to assist students with academic, social-emotional, and career development. Kindergarten classes receive lessons every week. Grades 1-4 receive lessons on a three week rotation. I see first and third grade three weeks in a row for 25 minutes of their library time. I see second and fourth grade the following three weeks for 25 minutes of their library time.
