Welcome to the James Cole Elementary School Counseling Website! My name is Hillary Wycoff, and I am blessed to have the opportunity to serve your students and families as the school counselor at Cole! This webpage will be updated regularly to keep current with what is going on at the school and within the counseling department. Resources for families and students will be shared, as well as how I am working with students while at school. Please feel free to reach out to me about any questions, concerns, or ways that I can serve you and your student!

These are the latest updates of how the school counselor is working with the wonderful Cole Cubs!
There will be two rounds of small groups this school year. I will start a round of groups during the first semester and finish them before leaving for Winter Break. I will start a second round of small groups at the beginning of second semester as well. These groups will be formed by data collected and teacher/parent input.
Small groups are a way to help students grow and form connections with other students. If your child is asked to be a part of a small group, it is an opportunity for them to be able to grow in their life skills while working in a smaller and more personal setting.
Please contact me if you have a topic that you think your student would benefit from in a small group!

I will be giving lessons to each classroom once a month. These lessons will be based off of data collected from students and teachers in order to meet the needs of students to help promote the most growth in all students. Each grade level will have monthly lessons that were created for them and the topics will be different each time. The beginning of the year will start with state mandated lessons of Bully Prevention and Body Safety.

If you think your student is in need of one-on-one counseling, I am able to provide brief, individual counseling to students. I will work with the student to help them overcome any challenges they are facing.
I will work with students to develop skills to be able to cope with and overcome adversity that they are facing. The length of this individual counseling will vary and could last from 6 to 10 weeks.
Please feel free to contact me if you feel that your child would benefit from meeting individually.
