Welcome from the School Counselor
The entire support staff at East Rock is here to support and encourage the students at East Rock Community Magnet School. As the school counselor, I enjoy working with students in all grade levels on social development skills, academic/study skills, and managing emotions. I typically work with elementary students through class lessons and lunch groups. My work with middle school students (grades 6-8) focuses on goal setting, college readiness, and career exploration through the use of classroom lessons and an online program called Naviance.

One of my primary roles as the school counselor at East Rock is to assist 8th grade students in the exploration of high school options for next year. This will be accomplished by holding individual meetings with 8th grade students to discuss schools that may best fit their personal interests, career goals, and learning styles. I also coordinate presentations to the students from various high schools, as well as a visit to our district-wide High School Recruitment Fair in the spring.
