School Counselor
Contact Information
I can be reached by phone during the school day. I am in classrooms or with students much of the day, but you may leave a message. My extension is #60. I make every attempt to return phone calls the day I receive them, yet the direct needs of the students are a priority during the school day. I can also be reached by e-mail. In an effort to reduce “spam”, staff e-mail addresses are not published on our websites, but are listed in the school directory and available on request. Please feel free to contact me with any concerns.
General Information
The counseling program at Gold Camp Elementary school is designed to help your child make the most of his or her educational experience. As your child’s counselor, I am concerned with all students’ personal and social development, academic progress, and emotional well-being. We may set goals as a group or individually in each of these areas.
Our overall goal for Gold Camp is to foster the character traits that lead to a caring community of learners. This is a comprehensive, school-wide program. The character traits are taught and reinforced through classroom guidance lessons, small groups, a Thought for the Day broadcast on the daily announcements, follow-up lessons/activities in the classrooms, a monthly calendar containing an abbreviated version of the daily Thought for the Day that is sent home, and positive reinforcement of the character traits in a variety of ways.
Additionally, I meet with small groups of students and individual students as needed. I frequently meet with teachers, other staff members, and parents. I support parents, students, and teachers with a range of services. This could include things such as referrals, resources, consultations, and goal-setting or problem-solving. I am also involved with numerous programs at Gold Camp.
