Counselor’s Corner

Hi, I’m Elise Hanson, the school counselor. I’m excited to be at Spring City Elementary on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The other days I am at Fountain Green Elementary. I’d like to share with you a little about professional school counselors. School counselors are licensed with a master’s degree. We follow the Utah College and Career Readiness School Counseling Program Model, serving 100% or our students.

Elementary school counselors play an integral role in preparing students to be college and career ready. They provide academic, personal, social, and life skills development opportunities that are necessary for student success and lifelong learning by visiting classrooms weekly. This year we will be learning the “ABCs of Success – Essential Skills of a Learner”.  We have learned about the importance of Attendance. Upcoming topics include choosing appropriate Behaviors, effective Communication, & Determination. We also help students by meeting individually and in small group settings, when requested. Please let me know if there is anything I can help you or your students with.  You’re welcome to contact me at elise.hanson@nsanpete.org or leave a message with Bobette.
