School Counseling
Our mission as school counselors is to support students in reaching their academic, career, and social-emotional goals. We strive to create a safe, supportive environment where all students can thrive. This is achieved through collaboration with parents, staff, and community partners to promote student success and well-being.
Meet Our Counselors
School Counselor: Samantha Ball
ESOL School Counselor: Michelle Georges-Sam
While being a part of the Fine Arts Wheel, Ms. Ball (Kindergarten - Second grade) and Ms. Georges (Third - Fifth grade) provide whole group instruction, with topics including Positive Self-Talk, Assertiveness, Teamwork, Building and Maintaining Friendships, Conflict Resolution, Bullying, Goal Setting, and so much more!
Our counselors also provide small group instruction for those students who may need a little extra assistance, whether that be academically, socially, or even behaviorally. For example, Zones of Regulation is a research-based intervention used to help students identify their emotions and gain skills to regulate their actions, leading to increased control and problem-solving abilities. Ms. Ball and Ms. Georges keep an open-door policy and are available to our students, staff, and families whenever they are needed!
