Every elementary school has at least one school counselor.
Counselors provide guidance to all students and may work with one student, a small group of students who have similar interests or needs, or with a whole class. They are also available to consult with parents about a child's educational or emotional needs and can refer parents to additional services and specialists within the school system or in the community. Social Workers School social workers are specialists in both social work and education. They work within the school and community to solve problems which may interfere with student achievement, attendance or adjustment to school. They are part of a team of support personnel within the school.
