Guidance and counseling is an integral part of Ellisville's total educational program. The counselor extends a hand to all children, not just the problem or troubled child. The counseling program assists students in acquiring the skills and attitudes necessary to be successful learners. It emphasizes that the classroom is a child's first workplace and that communication, decision-making, interpersonal, and career awareness skills are important to their success.
Ellisville is fortunate to have Mrs. Shaw and Mrs. Daigle as its counselors. Mrs. Shaw is at our school every day and works with all students. Mrs. Daigle is at our school part time.
