Meet your Counselors
We introduce ourselves the first day of school and go over what a counselor is and what we do. We reminded students that we work with students individually, in small groups, and do classroom lessons! We also go over how to request a counselor visit and left the counselor request forms in the teachers rooms. If you have a student who you would like us to check in on, please let us know!

Kelso's choices
Every year, we get a special visitor here at Hill, who goes by the name of Kelso! Kelso, who happens to be a frog, is an excellent problem solver. He reminds the students at Hill Elementary how to decide if something is a small problem, that can be handled on their own, or a big problem, that needs an adult to help. If its a small problem, he goes over nine choices that may be able to help! Check out the poster below to see his ideas!
Small Problem Choices
- talk it out
- share and take turns
- ignore it
- walk away
- tell them to stop
- apologize
- make a deal
- wait and cool off
- go to another game
