Hillcrest School Counselor's Corner

Dear Hillcrest Family,

It is with great excitement that we are writing this letter of introduction. Our names are Lisa Capelli and Jacqueline Nelson and we are your School Counselors! We are so excited to be part of the Hillcrest family and are honored to be welcoming you along with our amazing team of educators and staff!

As the Hillcrest School Counselor, our primary responsibilities are to be an advocate for all students and to promote their academic career, as well as their social/emotional development. It is our desire to make sure that students are given a safe environment to learn, respect, and give value to their ideas. We look forward to offering support to the Hillcrest students, staff, families, and community. We will be meeting with students individually and in small groups, as well as conduct classroom counseling lessons, meet with parents, collaborate with staff, and consult with community organizations to further benefit and meet the needs of all Hillcrest students; and these are just to name a few!

We will be kicking October off with The Week of Respect along with our Hillcrest Star Student of the Month Program! Please look for The Week of Respect flier being sent home on September 30th with your child so they can participate in our spirit week :) For our Star Student of the month program, one student will be selecting per month as The Hillcrest Star Student of the month and will have a morning celebration with Ms. Capelli and Ms. Nelson to celebrate their accomplishments.

Please feel free to reach us at lcapelli@franklinboe.org and jacquelinenelson@franklinboe.org.

We are looking forward to learning about your children! Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions!

All the best,

Your School Counseling Team
