Greetings to everyone,

My name is Alicia Smith. I'm the school counselor at Rainbow Elementary School. My role as a school counselor has been rewarding, and I look forward to working with the faculty, staff, students, and parents. My belief is to never stop encouraging, inspiring, and instilling hope into our children.

I have been at Rainbow since 2018. I will be teaching guidance lessons to students in Kdg-5th. All of the guidance lessons will be based on the American School Counseling Association (A.S.C.A.) which is geared towards academic, career, and positive social skills. I will also have small group sessions and the primary focus will be on social skills and helping the selected students discuss specific concerns that they have in common with other students. *Parental permission is required for group participation.

Interests: During my spare time I like to travel, read, and spend time with my family and friends. I also enjoy playing with my dog, King.
