• What are School Counselors?
    • School counselors are a type of helper in your school.  We help kids with things like problem solving, understanding feelings, and making friends.  We work with all children.  The counseling program assists students in acquiring the skills and attitudes necessary to be successful learners and good citizens. 
    • A major focus of the elementary counseling program is prevention and involves classroom lessons based on important character traits (such as being respectful, doing outstanding work, being accountable, and building healthy relationships) and the Missouri Model Guidance Program.
    • School counselors will also facilitate individual and small group counseling as needed to help students develop the personal/social, academic, and career skills necessary in life!
    • In addition, school counselors will make referrals to outside resources when needed for specific student needs.
