Elementary Guidance Department
One of the responsibilities of the Elementary School Guidance Counselor is to conduct individual counseling sessions with children. Referrals come from parents/guardians, teachers, administrators, and children. Some of the reasons students are counseled are because of problems they may be experiencing due to separation or divorce, the death of a loved one, not getting along with classmates, not wanting to attend school, and having difficulty with school work.
Another important role is to be available to students, parents, teachers, and non-teaching staff to deal with issues that arise on a day-to-day basis.
The Elementary guidance counselor maintains various responsibilities, activities, and tasks associated with the effective operation of the guidance office, such as the following:
Schedule and attend parent-teacher conferences.
Attend IEP/ER meetings.
Attend meetings for 504 plans.
Brownsville Area Support Team (BEST)
Meet with parents, teachers, and administrators.
