Elrod Elementary School has two full time guidance counselors who work with students of every grade level. In addition to guidance classes, counselors are available to meet with students in small groups or individually as needed. Our counselors may consult with social workers, psychologists, paraprofessionals, and community agencies to facilitate and coordinate services with parents, teachers, and administrators. Parent education sessions are held throughout the school year using Jim Fay's Love and Logic Program . Dates and times for these sessions are announced through flyers sent home with students.
Counselors are also available to parents, by appointment, to discuss issues unique to their child.
The Love and Logic philosophy of raising and teaching children allows those who care for children to become happier, empowered, and more skilled. Love allows children to grow through their mistakes. Logic allows them to live with the consequences of their choices. Love and Logic is a way of working with children that puts parents and teachers back in control. It teaches children to be responsible and prepares them to live in the real world where they will encounter many choices and consequences.
