School Counselor

At Longfellow Primary, home of the Little Jackets, we believe that all students' social-emotional and academic development should be nurtured through a variety of counseling activities.
Through classroom, group, and individual counseling, students are able to find coping strategies that will empower them to become happy, healthy children and productive, resilient adults later in life. We are building the foundation for future personal, academic, and career success at an early age!
