All About Ms. Paton
I started working as an elementary counselor in Osseo Area Schools in the fall of 2005. I have a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Psychology from the University of Minnesota - Duluth and a Master of Arts degree in School Counseling from the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities. I have worked at Rice Lake, Woodland, Garden City, the Distance Learning Academy, and Basswood. Clio started with me as a therapy dog in the fall of 2015, Thor joined our team in the fall of 2019, and Loki joined in 2023. I thoroughly enjoy teaching classroom lessons, running small group counseling sessions, and meeting with students one-on-one. I am proud to be a member of the amazing K-12 counseling team that we have in our district. As a team, we work hard to support our district's mission:
The mission of Osseo Area Schools is to inspire and prepare all students with the confidence, courage and competence to achieve their dreams; contribute to community; and engage in a lifetime of learning.
The RAMP designation, awarded for aligning with the criteria in the ASCA National Model, recognizes schools committed to delivering a data-informed school counseling program and an exemplary educational environment.
