What does Mrs. Lawler do?

School Counselors support students in three different areas: academic, career, and social/emotional development.

I work to support families and students through the following actions:

 

Academic:
  • Managing 504 Plans
  • Offering study skills and organizational skill supports individually and with small groups
  • Collaborating with teachers 
  • Suggesting accommodations for student success
 
Career:
  • Providing classroom lessons on skills, interests, and careers
  • Encouraging students to make connections to what they are learning now and their futures
 
Social/Emotional:
  • Meeting with students individually and in small groups to help them develop skills and knowledge 
  • Conducting regular classroom lessons
  • Collaborating with families, teachers, principals, and community resources
  • Working with new students to help them become acclimated to our school
