COUNSELING

Mrs. Julie Wolf, Counselor

The elementary school counselors in the Fayetteville-Manlius School District are an integral link in the educational system. Through the K-4 counseling program, elementary counselors promote personal success by enhancing the development of academic skills, interpersonal skills, and self-understanding. The elementary counseling program also educates students in decision-making, problem solving, goal setting and self-awareness.

The elementary counseling program is delivered through a multitude of vehicles:

Individual Counseling: May cover a variety of topics including, but not limited to:

• Self-awareness
• Self-esteem
• Relationship issues 
• Peer pressure
• Loss and bereavement
• Family issues
• Communication
• Stress management
• School related issues  

Group Counseling: Peer support groups run throughout the school year covering a variety of issues.

These groups include:

• Newcomers Club
• Banana Splits (children experiencing parental separation or divorce)
• Conflict resolution
• Social skill streaming
• Peer relationships
• Bereavement and stress

Classroom Presentations: Working closely with classroom teachers, elementary counselors deliver lessons specific to individual needs of each classroom.
