Welcome to Jefferson-Morgan Elementary School Guidance webpage. Please browse through the website for information that may be helpful to you throughout the school year. As your schools guidance counselor I am here to help support your child as they develop academically and socially through their Elementary School experience. As a part of the guidance program students can receive support through individual counseling, small group counseling or classroom guidance lessons. I look forward to a wonderful school year at Jefferson-Morgan Elementary.
This school year we will be providing Grief and Loss Support groups in partnership with The Caring Place.
Please contact Mrs. Clayton for more information. Career Awareness in Elementary SchoolThe guidance program partners with our teachers to help provide student activities that develop skills that encourage success in future career and educational experiences. At PreK-2 level student are exposed to early career development skills through social skills. In grades 3-6 students will focus on awareness through various career awareness activities such as: our 5th career fair, 6th grade parent career speakers, career awareness inventories and classroom projects that identify their interests. Through identifying interests and careers students can begin to think about their options as they journey through middle and high school.
If you would like to be a career speaker for our students please contact the guidance office.
