SJS Counseling office
"As human beings, our job in life is to help people realize how rare and valuable each one of us really is, that each of us has something that no one else has- or ever will have- something inside that is unique to all time. It's our job to encourage each other to discover that uniqueness and to provide ways of developing its expression." – Fred Rogers
Welcome to the St. John's School Counseling Website! My name is Esther Santos and I am the School Counselor here at SJS. I have the joy of working with students through classroom guidance lessons, and individual counseling. I also collaborate with school staff and parents in order to best meet the needs of students.
Classroom Guidance Lessons
Classroom visits throughout the school year to interact with the students and teach various skills and values. Lessons typically last 30 minutes in length and cover topics such as school readiness skills, understanding feelings of self and others, problem solving skills, friendship skills, and study skills.
Individual Counseling
Some students can benefit from one-on-one counseling regarding academic, social, or emotional challenges.
