Welcome! Our names are Jodie Damrauer and Dr. Trina Clinkscales, and we are ARES school counselors. We work together to support our school community in many different ways!
All students from kindergarten to fifth grades get to know us as a regular part of their elementary school day and experiences.
We have 2 school counseling spaces located near the front of the school in Student Support Services and share these spaces quite a bit!

We support all students in a variety of ways such as:
Classroom Guidance Lessons
Individual Counseling
Small Group Counseling
School Events (Red Ribbon Week, Career Day, & PurpleUP! Day)
We strongly encourage students to cultivate meaningful relationships with their peers and teachers to foster strong bonds and effectively resolve conflicts. If a student requires additional support while navigating intense emotions, our doors are always open. To seek counseling support, we kindly request that teachers or parents/guardians contact the counselor by grade levels or if a student has a specific preference.
