School Counselor

Hello Tioga Hills Community!

My name is Grace McLaughlin, and I am the School Counselor at Tioga Hills. As a School Counselor, I provide social, emotional, and academic support to all students through individual and group counseling. Oftentimes, this work may revolve around stress, behavioral challenges, self-concept, peer relationships, familial changes, or grief. However, all students are welcome to meet with me regarding any issue of any size!

I also provide social-emotional lessons in all grades! Depending on grade level, these lessons will explore topics such as empathy, social boundaries, problem-solving, emotional regulation, and self-confidence. To start, our School Psychologist, Mrs. Hardy, will be joining me throughout September for a Meet the Counselor and Psychologist lesson.

All of our new students in grades 1-5 have been invited to the New Student Party on September 23! 

I encourage you to contact me with any questions or concerns that you may have! I know it can be challenging to adjust to our new routines at the start of the school year, so if I can support your student or your family in any way, please do not hesitate to reach out. I can be contacted by phone at (607) 757-2366 or by email at gmmclaughlin@vestalcsd.org.

Have a great school year!

Ms. McLaughlin, School Counselor
