Counselor

The Plano ISD Elementary Counseling Program partners with students, families and staff to support every child's academic, social and emotional growth. Through a collaborative team approach, we help students build the skills they need to become confident, responsible and successful learners.

How We Support Students

Our counseling program provides individual counseling, small group counseling and classroom guidance to help students:

• Better understand themselves and others
• Build self-confidence and resilience
• Recognize and develop their strengths
• Experience success and celebrate achievements
• Navigate academic, personal and social concerns
• Adjust to school and home environments
• Develop decision-making and problem-solving skills
• Explore future career awareness
• Foster kindness, respect and responsibility
• Learn in a safe, caring and supportive environment

Classroom Guidance

Each class participates in a 30-minute classroom guidance lesson twice each month. Lessons focus on age-appropriate topics such as friendship, communication, conflict resolution, emotional regulation, study skills, personal safety, career awareness, decision-making, diversity and acceptance.

Character Education

Our Character Education program highlights a different character trait each month. Students and staff are encouraged to recognize one another for demonstrating positive character, helping build a culture of kindness, respect and responsibility throughout our school.

We look forward to partnering with your family this school year. If we can support your student in any way, please don't hesitate to contact us.
