George Washington Carver
Elementary School
Counselor
Welcome to all of our students, families, and community. My name is Susan Fox and I am the counselor at George Washington Carver Elementary School. I have worked as an elementary school counselor for over 20 years and look forward to continuing to work with our students and families at GWCES. I enjoy working with the students on building positive social skills and developing stronger academic and personal skills. I teach these skills through classroom guidance lessons, small group counseling, and individual counseling. Students can be referred by staff, parents, or self-referral. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns.
Elementary School Counseling Services
The school counseling program at George Washington Carver Elementary School is designed to assist students in decision-making and to help each child appreciate their self-worth. The counselor facilitates daily and weekly lessons, which may include such topics as mindfulness, collaboration, conflict resolution, empathy, coping with change, goal setting, career exploration, perseverance, and middle school transition. Teachers, families, or students may make referrals for specific problems to the school counselor. The school counselor meets with new students entering our school to welcome and orient them to the school’s expectations and culture and helps coordinate our fifth graders’ transition to middle school through a family information night, registration information, and student visits to the middle school.
