Counseling

“Pursuing Excellence on behalf of every student in every school.”

Westview Elementary School’s Comprehensive Counseling and Guidance Program is committed to preparing every student socially, academically, and emotionally for present and future challenges. We believe in fostering respect, self-direction, and personal growth in all students as they work to reach their full potential. Students will receive whole group counseling on a rotation schedule set by the School Counselor. Small group counseling is available as needed and determined according to students' needs. Individual counseling is available only with parental consent.
