Always believe something wonderful is about to happen.

Welcome

Here you will find information and resources for you and your student. Useful links are listed below as a helpful assistance to parents and students.

Counseling services include individual sessions, small group services, and classroom guidance.  Our goal is to promote personal and social growth so that all students can rise to their fullest academic potential.  We will continue to deliver the Second Step program that will teach skills in the following areas: Skills for Learning, Empathy, Emotion Management, and Problem Solving.  This is a valuable program that teaches critical skills to our youngest learners.  In addition to the Second Step program, we will address bully prevention, child safety, tolerance, making safe/healthy choices, and career opportunities.
