What Elementary School Counselors do.

3.  Provide immediate and short-term individual counseling for students needing solution-focused interventions.
4.  Provide information and/ or referrals for community resources to families.
5.  Work collaboratively with teachers and staff
6. Consult with parents
7.  Provide assistance to students in need.
