School Counselor
Welcome to the Pleasant View School Counseling Department
SCHOOL COUNSELOR VS GUIDANCE COUNSELOR
Historically, the term “guidance counselor” was used to reference counselors working within the school system. These counselors’ main role was to “guide” students to college: writing letters of recommendation and sending out transcripts. However, this role has evolved in the past decade, and now our career has evolved to the term “school counselor” instead.
Today’s school counselors embrace a comprehensive approach to optimize student outcomes in much more than just future planning. Focus areas include
emotional support
family intervention
social development
academic guidance
career planning
School counselors are now a strong, collaborative member of an educational team.
If your child needs to see our school counselor or a member of the care team, they can submit a meeting request by clicking the "come see the care team" button in Mrs. Hawkins' virtual counseling office. If your child is not comfortable doing this please feel free to email Sammy Hawkins or call the school.
