Hello Walker Family and Community,
As the Walker School Counselor, I strive to model to create an intentional comprehensive school counseling program that ensures the safety and the emotional well-being of our students.
A school counselor supports students in the domains of social-emotional growth, academic performance, and college/career readiness. Counseling services provide social-emotional support through individual and group counseling, core curriculum lessons using the Second Step curriculum and restorative justice practices, and implementing school-wide activities to build a culture of success. Through classroom lessons, I facilitate student discussions on how to focus attention and be good learners, facilitating student support team (SST) meetings, Section 504 plans, and observing classrooms throughout the school year as needed. College and career readiness is taught through career lessons and providing students with the skills to learn and get along with others.
The school counselor at Walker is a critical role, working to ensure the safety and well being of all Walker students. The social emotional skills developed throughout elementary school will last a lifetime.
Please reach out to me with any questions or concerns.
Thank you,
Supriya Parks
