My School Counseling Program

Keep your eyes open for my monthly (sometimes more) updates regarding the topics I am covering in your child's classrooms and ways that you can reinforce this at home. Education is an interactive process and I hope that my updates give you a starting point for engaging with your student about their learning at school.  These letters are sent as a hard copy in your student's home/school communication folder or as an update on Class Dojo. 

I offer proactive, developmentally appropriate programming to students through regular classroom instruction, individual & small group support, as well as referral & consultation with families, educational staff, and outside resources as appropriate. I follow the guidelines of the American School Counseling Association and support students with academic success, social/emotional learning, and college/career readiness. 

What exactly will be covered in my child's classroom? 

For the 2023-24 school year, you can expect to see specific programming on study skills, empathy & compassion, emotional management, relationships & problem-solving, bullying prevention, personal safety, career exploration, and *puberty education (*5th grade only, as part of the school health program, and in collaboration with the school nurse). 

Brain-based mindfulness practices of intention and self-control form the foundation of my programming.
