Mission Statement
The mission of Creekside Elementary School’s Counseling Program is to maximize every student’s social, educational and career development potential in order to become responsible citizens and lifelong learners.
What is a School Counselor?
As a school counselor, I am an educator trained in school counseling, just as other educators are trained in math, science, or English. My goal at Creekside is to develop, implement, and evaluate a comprehensive school counseling program designed to meet the needs of ALL students.
Counseling Services
Individual Counseling
Assistance provided to some students who may need help to overcome social and/or personal problems that interfere with learning.
Group Counseling
A support group for students who share a common concern. Parent permission is required to participate.
Classroom Guidance
Assistance provided to all students to succeed and interact with their peers. These lessons are taught in the classroom once a month.
Student Advocacy
Tasks to create an environment that encourages high achievement for all students.
Collaboration
Activities to connect parents and families with resources in the community and consultation with parents and other staff to help meet the needs of students at home and in the classroom.
How can a student see the counselor?
Student self-referral
Staff referral
Parent referral
Confidentiality
The rules of confidentiality for counselors are very different from those of teachers. Confidentiality is important to maintain a trusting relationship with students. Students are told that what they tell Mrs. Hasser is a 'secret' unless someone is in danger. Only then will Mrs. Hasser tell someone to make sure they are safe and healthy. Information is never disclosed to other staff members, parents, or students unless permission is granted. If a student discloses information deemed crucial to a child's safety or well-being, the student is informed that his/her parents must be notified.
