Welcome!
I'm Jessica Weiss (Ms. Weiss) and I'm honored to be serving as the school counselor at Mammoth Heights Elementary!
A little about me
This is my third year as the school counselor at Mammoth Heights Elementary. I love to bake, garden, and spend time with my family. I am a National Board Certified Counselor and have a Master's Degree in school counseling. Being a school counselor is my calling and I am fortunate to say that I LOVE what I do!
As the school counselor
I am a part of our Essentials Classes rotation teaching students social and academic skills as well as introducing them to career and interest exploration. Please check out my newsletters to see what your student is learning about each month! I also lead small, short-term groups and meet with individual students to help with more personalized topics such as friendship skills, managing emotions, conflict resolution, changing families, or grief recovery. I am unable to offer long-term therapeutic services to students, however, if you have any concerns please don't hesitate to reach out!

The Essential Role of Elementary School Counselors
At Mammoth Heights, we use a DCSD approved curriculum called Sources of Strength to help our students build their sense of community within and outside of school as well as identify and utilize the many strengths they have in their lives.
