Services

Based on student need, school counselors may provide individual student counseling for academic, college/career, and social-emotional development.

Some topics are presented in a small group, with two to four students, to ensure that students are gaining the necessary tools to be successful at El Rincon Elementary School as well as in their transition to middle school.

School counselors provide in-class social emotional learning (SEL) instruction to all students. The topics presented fall within the three ASCA domains: academic, social-emotional, college & career.

The goal is to ensure that all students leave El Rincon Elementary School with the attitudes, knowledge, and skills to be successful in middle school, high school and in their post-secondary endeavors. 

In order to help with the development of these skills, we will provide on-going monthly activities to inform students of our monthly themes in academics, college/career, and social-emotional development.

School counselors have a primary obligation to ensure confidentiality with their client, the student. Any student working with the school counselor has the right to privacy and the promise of confidentiality. In order to ensure meaningful and honest dialogue within the counseling relationship, the student must be able to have trust and confidence in the school counselor.

At the beginning of the school year, and prior to each session, all students and families are made aware of the confidentiality statement and exceptions. Exceptions to confidentiality exist in which the counselor must inform others of this information in order to prevent  "serious or foreseeable harm" to the student, others, or if "legally required."
