My Students

Magnolia Elementary School is made up of 550 students from TK - 5th grade. We are proud to be a Title 1 School which means over 40% of our students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Actually, we more than qualify with close to 95%!!

CVUSD has invested in our district by increasing the number of school counselors from four to thirty-four!

With counselors at each elementary school, we are able to teach young children about coping skills and strategies, how to use zones of regulation, and begin each school day with a social and emotional lesson.

My Project

Elementary school can be stressful for our students as they learn new curriculum, follow and meet classroom and school expectations, as well as navigate new social situations. The counseling office is accessible to ALL students. It is a quiet environment where students can de-escalate when upset, learn new coping strategies, and reset before re-joining their class.

A typical student will come into the counseling office upset.

We talk about what happened and what actions they can control. After our chat, I encourage the student to play a game or participate in an activity to clear their mind so they don't dwell on the situation keeping them from learning. Students love the five minutes of fun they have before heading back to class!
