At the elementary level, the school counselor is here to listen and help. Whether you feel upset about trouble with a friend, worried about your parents splitting up, or feel like you don't fit in at school, your school counselor is trained to help you. She will take your problem seriously and work with you to find a good solution. Places you may see your school counselor include your classroom, the lunchroom, and the playground. Of course, students are always welcome to ask their teacher or their parent to set up a time to talk with the counselor.

The counselor may also serve as a resource for parents. Parents may call school to make an appointment to see the counselor or stop in to the counseling office to arrange a time to meet. If after discussing concerns, parents feel they need more help, the counselor can provide referrals for outside agencies.
