Welcome to the Colt's Counseling Corner
I'm Mrs. Smith your Elementary School Counselor at Walnut Elementary. As we navigate this new year of 2025-2026 learning my hope is to continue to provide resources and content that can help your student with their social- emotional development and wellness.
During the school year, I work with students by providing whole classroom lessons, targeted group counseling during lunch, and individual counseling. I also collaborate with teachers, staff, parents, and community members for student support and parent resources.
