Ms. Anderson's Counseling Bubble
Heron Heights Elementary School Year 2021-2022
Meet the School Counselor
My name is Ms. Anderson. I am the new School Counselor for Kinder to 5th grade at Heron Heights Elementary. As your school counselor, I want to provide helpful resources to support the mental, social, emotional, and overall well-being of your children. This will include character building, mindfulness and positive mindsets, classroom guidance, individual and group counseling and more.
In order to provide a successful Counseling and Guidance Program and meet the needs of the students and their families, I will send out a Needs Assessment Online Form towards the end of August. The information will help with addressing areas of concern and how I can support your child most effectively. Additionally, an online counseling referral forms will be made available for the parents to access throughout the year. There will also be quarterly Counseling and Guidance newsletters sent to you containing information and updates.
Keeping everyone safe and healthy is top priority and takes a team effort. Heron Heights Elementary has taken the lead to prepare for the best and safest way to provide our students, families, and employees with support in academics, social and emotional learning, mental health and more. Please take advantage of all the learning resources the school has made available to you to help your children. Click the links below in the newsletter for more information.
You are more than welcome to contact me through email or by phone. Please see my contact information towards the end of the newsletter. We are ALL in this together! One team! One goal! I look forward to starting a positive, new school year and supporting the Heron Heights' families!!
Best Regards,
Ms. Anderson
