Guidance

At Hilltop Elementary, the school counselor has the privilege of supporting students as they grow academically, socially, and emotionally during the years that lay the foundation for lifelong learning and growth. The core focus is to help every child feel safe, valued, supported, and empowered as they build skills to thrive both in and out of the classroom.

The role of our school counselor is to support students through lessons, small groups, short term counseling, and individual check-ins. These opportunities focus on themes such as managing emotions, conflict resolution, building self-esteem, practicing mindfulness, and fostering a strong sense of community. In addition, we provide crisis support and help connect families with valuable resources when needed.

Collaboration is at the heart of this role. By partnering with administration, teachers, support staff, and families, school counselors create a positive school environment rooted in safety, respect, and responsibility. Please know that the doors to the guidance department are always open and we are here to listen, support, and walk alongside our students and families throughout their Hilltop journey.
