Welcome to the Counselor’s Corner! We are glad you are here. The school counselor’s job is to assist our teachers, staff, parents, and students. Our office works to provide emotional and behavioral support to our wonderful students at Northside Elementary School. We are committed to creating a caring environment to assist all children in achieving academic success.

Welcome back! I am currently working in the third and fourth grade classrooms. We are focusing on life skills such as responsibility, friendly vs fighting words, and careers. We are discussing the importance of graduating from high school in order to achieve our “forever” job. We are also learning how to use “I feel…” at the beginning of conversations to help us find resolutions.

We have asked students to bring these worksheets home to their parents/caregivers and have a discussion about these topics. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
