Elementary school is a time when students develop attitudes concerning school, self, peers, social groups, and family. It is a time when students develop decision-making, communication, and life training skills and character values. Elementary counselors are responding to today's needs by providing children with comprehensive and developmental school counseling programs.

Elementary school years set the tone for developing skills, knowledge, and attitudes necessary for our children to become healthy, productive adults. With a comprehensive developmental counseling program, counselors work as a team with school, parents, and community to create a caring atmosphere whereby children's needs are met through prevention, early identification, and intervention.
