School Counselor

Welcome to the WR Croman School Counselor Page!

Hello! My name is Marie Gibble and I want to welcome you to the WR Croman Primary school counselor webpage. I hope you will take time to read the important information about the school counseling and other services offered to students at Croman. Throughout the school year I plan to provide parents/guardians updates about student activities happening here at Croman and make some positive phone calls home about your students.

What Does a School Counselor Do?

School counselors help ALL STUDENTS acquire the KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDES, and SKILLS needed to be successful in academic, career and social/emotional development

At Croman Elementary School, this happens at 3 different levels:

Level 1- ALL STUDENTS receive wellness lessons during the specials rotation. These lessons teach students about many different social-emotional skills, such as identifying and expressing emotions appropriately, coping skills, communication skills, and problem solving skills.

Level 2- SOME students receive small group counseling and/or instruction. Small group counseling and instruction is for students who need extra help learning specific skills. Small group counseling is typically short-term.

Level 3- FEW students receive short-term individual counseling. Individual counseling is meant for students who have higher individual needs or need help with a problem that is not appropriate for a group setting.

**If a student needs more support beyond what I can offer, there are other supports available. Please contact me to discuss!**

CHOP Snack and Backpack Program at Croman Elementary

Child Hunger Outreach Partners, or CHOP, provides healthy snack options for ALL STUDENTS at Croman Elementary. Each classroom has a bin filled with snack items that students can choose from.

CHOP also provides a "Backpack Program" for ALL STUDENTS! Each week, CHOP provides a grocery bag of food for students to take home for the weekend. If interested in this program, please contact the school and a consent form will be sent home with your student.

A huge thank you to CHOP for providing both of these services to our students!
