Meet the Staff

At Bigelow, our counselors loop with the classes.  The students have the same counselor all three years, which provides more opportunities for connection and consistency.  Grade level counselors are available to meet with students throughout the school day to address a variety of issues including social difficulties, emotional regulation, and logistic/schedule concerns.  Grade level counselors also meet with the team teachers regularly to discuss student progress, performance and concerns.  Counselors serve as a contact point for parents to help facilitate contact with teachers or to offer support with and education about developmentally appropriate social/emotional concerns or issues.
