Counselor's Corner

Hi, everyone! My name is Elena Robertson. I am the Guidance Counselor at Ashland Elementary School. 

The Guidance Program at Ashland Elementary is a comprehensive program designed to meet the needs of our students.  The curriculum offers individual student planning, responsive services, and system support.  Examples of guidance activities include:

• Classroom guidance classes
• Individual counseling
• Group counseling
• Crisis intervention
• Student orientation
• Bullying prevention and intervention

My goal is to assist students to learn the skills and attitudes required for school success.  I place strong emphasis on helping students develop self-awareness, self-esteem, and good interpersonal relationships.

For the Kids:

I am here to help you with any problems or feelings that may be hard to handle on your own.  The counselor is your friend and you may tell me anything.
