Dear Families,
I am the proud school counselor at Fox Creek. My true passion is working with kids and partnering with you, your child and your child's teacher to meet them where they are in order to reach their greatest potential. I feel incredibly honored and privileged to provide Social Emotional guidance and support with whatever is going on in their world.
I want to remind you that I am here for EVERY child and family, and that most importantly for you to know that you and your child(ren) are not alone. Feel free to explore my website that is full of a multitude of resources for both you and your child. Also, in the “Supporting Parents, Supporting Kids in Uncertain Times”, you will find additional resources.
I am still using the same “Check in” form that I used during crisis learning last year. Please encourage your child to fill this out at any point to let me know how they are feeling and what they might need (you can also fill this out for yourself!).
If you have any questions or concerns at all, please do not hesitate to reach out. Please email me at clyle@dcsdk12.org or call at 303-387-7051.
In Partnership,
Christy Lyle

What is the Role of a School Counselor?
What does a school counselor do?
Counselors follow guidelines of ASCA (American School Counselor Association). We work in three main domains with students.
Personal/Social-working with students around skills to be successful citizens, coping skills around trauma/depression/anxiety/other struggles, peer conflict, grief and loss, concerns outside of school.
Postsecondary-getting students ready to complete state mandated ICAP (Individualized Career and Academic Planning) in grades 7-12. All grade levels answer three core questions: Who am I (interests and strengths)?, What are my options (postsecondary options in careers, college and the military)?, and How do I get there (what are the steps, goals and actions needed to meet my goals after graduation)?
Academic-supporting students being in the right classes to graduate, seeking supports for students to be able to succeed, identifying interventions and support plans to help students reach their goals.
Counselors also support students and their communities in many other ways; offering resources in the school and community for success, mental health support and family needs.
Safety is a big priority and we support students around thoughts of harm, suicide and harm to others.
I am always here for the students, parents and staff at Fox Creek!
