Mrs. Jenn Barnes is Curtisville Primary Center's School Counselor. Mrs. Barnes's role, as an elementary school counselor is to provide support, consultation, and intervention strategies to help students, teachers, and families minimize barriers to education.
Ways of providing this support will consist of working with children in classroom instruction, small groups, and one-on-one intervention. Social skills, conflict management, emotional regulation, self-awareness, bullying prevention, friendship skills, and school success are a few of the developmental guidance lessons that will be provided for students through small group and/or classroom instruction.
In addition, the student assistance program will be offering focus groups such as changing families, grief/loss, and anger management for students with needs in these areas.
Parents or students wishing to speak to or meet with Mrs. Barnes are encouraged to contact her at any time.
