WES utilizes a system known as "looping". This means that your child’s school counselor will remain the same throughout their time at WES. Looping allows us to build strong, meaningful relationships with each child and family!
In addition to our school counselors, WES has additional student support services...
School Social Workers are trained mental health professionals and serve as home liaisons who can assist with mental health concerns, behavioral concerns, positive behavioral support, academic, and classroom support, consultation with teachers, parents, and administrators as well as provide assessment, individual and group counseling/therapy. School Social Workers hold an Ohio Social Worker License.
School counselors will work with students and families to determine if services through a licensed social worker are needed for student and family wellness, engagement and success. Ms. Verlie is a valuable resource to our students and families. Please start with your child’s school counselor first and they can help you through this process of a referral for meetings.
Elementary school psychologists are problem solvers and collaborators who work with teachers, counselors, administrators, and families to help support students who are facing academic, emotional, and/or behavioral challenges. They can be consulted regarding potential developmental disorders impacting a student's educational performance and are the primary contact in determining if students' needs require an Individualized Education Plan (IEP). Our school psychologists include:
