At the elementary school level, school counselors meet regularly with all students through school-wide programs and classroom guidance lessons. When needed, they also meet with students in small group or individual settings.
School counselors help students develop knowledge and skills appropriate to their age and grade in the areas of academic success, personal growth, career awareness, and interpersonal relationships such as making and keeping friends, how to handle peer pressure and how to safely resolve conflicts. School counselors also regularly consult with parents and teachers to discuss ways in which they can support students.
School counselors at the elementary school level are always available as a resource for parents to answer questions they may have about their child's development.
