    What Are School Counselors?
     
    School counselors are helpers in the school who work with students, parents, and teachers. We help kids learn about things like solving conflicts, making friends, understanding feelings, and practicing good study skills. School counselors have at least a masters degree in counseling, and have been specially trained to work with school aged children.

    What Can School Counselors Do?

    • Talk with individual students
    • Meet with students in small groups
    • Teach classroom guidance lessons
    • Help parents become better equipped to help their child succeed
    • Coordinate programs throughout the school that help maximize student development

     
    Counseling Mission Statement: The counselors at Kernersville Elementary are educational leaders who are committed to promoting all students' academic, personal/social, and career development. By working collaboratively with students, staff, and parents and guardians, we strive to promote a safe and positive school environment that fosters self-confidence, self-discipline, respect, and appreciation for all individuals.
