Until my brain has grown a bit.
And I have learned how to do it.
If I fail, I will be ok.
I will try a different way.
I will say I just can't do it yet.
Because I have a Growth Mindset.Bulldog Cheer!

The elementary counseling curriculum is primarily devoted to addressing all the issues that will compliment a student's overall development into young adulthood.
Guidance lessons are provided to each class one time a month. The main focuses are Social-Emotional Learning (SEL), Growth Mindset, Mindfulness, and Character Education, which promotes the development of good character traits such as Respect, Responsibility, Caring, Fairness, Trustworthiness, and Citizenship.
We also learn about Tolerance and Diversity, Emotional Regulation and Conflict Resolution, Social Skills and Cooperation, Careers and Study Skills, Health and Wellness, Stress and Coping Skills to name a few!
Other areas that School Counseling focuses on are:
- Individual and Group Counseling
- Educational Assemblies
- Anti-Bullying / HIB
- Affirmative Action (AAO)
- Win/Win Guidelines
- 5th Grade PALS
- School Climate / School Safety
