The guidance department is an important part of Kelly Elementary. The school counselors support students and staff by collaborating with grade level teams, serving as a member of the MTSS, SAP, PBIS, and Crisis Response Team(s), screening students for the gifted program as well as working with students 1-1, in small groups and also through scheduled classroom lessons.
The role of the school counselor includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- Support emotional awareness
- Support positive peer and adult relationships
- Support conflict resolution skills
- Support self-esteem and confidence
- Support family engagement in academic and social/emotional growth
- Support students who are experiencing life transitions such as: parental separation/divorce, deployment, loss of a loved one, incarceration, relocation, etc.
- Provide support, consultation and resources to families in need
We encourage families to share information regarding their child(ren) with the school counselor via phone 570-522-3247, email, or via Seesaw.
