Building a Foundation for Success

Mr. Caleb Chapman, Corral Drive Elementary School

Elementary school counselors work to remove barriers to learning and help students develop skills and behaviors critical for academic achievement.

The elementary school years set the foundation for developing the knowledge, attitudes and skills necessary for children to become healthy, competent and confident learners. Elementary school counselors have an impact on these years by implementing a comprehensive school counseling program and collaborating with school staff, parents, and the community to create a safe and respectful learning environment. By providing education, prevention, early identification and intervention, elementary school counselors help their students achieve academic success, develop an understanding of career opportunities and develop social/emotional skills in response to issues they face.
