Who is the Elementary School Counselor?
The Elementary Counselor is an ESA (education staff associate) certified person with a Master’s Degree in Counseling.
What exactly is a counselor’s job?
My job is to ensure that all Jefferson Students feel happy and safe at home
and at school. To help students achieve this I provide:
Support Groups:
- Anger Management
- Divorce
- Grief
- Mean Girls
- Social Skills
These support groups are conducted during recess time so students do not miss out on academics.
Character Education:
I visit every classroom monthly to discuss character traits.
Special Friends:
In collaboration with Kiwanis Club we connect students in need of positive adult role models with a Kiwanis Club member. Each week the student and friend eat lunch, play games and talk together.
Parenting With Love and Logic Classes:
This class will take place during the winter months. Please look for a flyer in January.
Testing:
I am the testing coordinator for Jefferson. If you have questions about MAP or SBA, please call.
