WASHINGTON ELEMENTARY GUIDANCE OFFICE
Confidentiality
School counseling services are confidential. The CDC found that students are more likely to seek help if counseling and mental health services were kept confidential. Protecting your child's right to privacy is very important to the school counseling program at WE. If serious issues arise during counseling with your child, Mrs. Elliott will notify you. Such issues include: Your child is being hurt, your child wants to hurt someone else, or your child wants to hurt themselves.
Classroom Guidance
Classroom guidance looks a little different for the first 5 weeks of this 2020/2021 School year. I will see each Kindergarten and first grade classes for one week in this first 5 weeks of school. I will not be regularly going into the 2nd-4th grade classes but will be conducting more small groups and individual sessions as the needs arise.
Individual Counseling
If your child is experiencing difficulty managing life changes, emotions, or behavior, they are welcome to meet with Mrs. Elliott for individual counseling. Students may choose on their own to schedule an appointment with Mrs. Elliott or they may be referred by a parent/guardian or staff member.

Resources:
Covid-19 Social Stories--A great way to talk to your child about the changes here at school and in our every day lives. Stories include importance of hand washing, what covid-19 is, why we are wearing masks at school, etc.
