Dear Rock Bridge Elementary Families,
 
​At RBE we are committed to the whole child and their family.  Because of our belief that children learn better when their needs are met, we wanted to reach out and let you know of some resources designed to help children and families.  
 
We are certainly in unprecedented times and many families find that accessing resources is more important than ever.  We are committed to helping families confidentially access any resources that might be helpful.  Some commonly accessed resources are found in the attachment below.

I am Ryan Smith and I am the school counselor at Rock Bridge Elementary. Even though we are not meeting in person at this time, I am available for RBE students and families.  I will post various resources on this page throughout the year.  Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you or your student!

WHAT DOES A SCHOOL COUNSELOR DO?

School counselors are certified/licensed educators who improve student success by implementing a comprehensive school counseling program.

​Elementary School Counselors Assist Students by:
  • Providing academic achievement strategies.
  • Helping students manage emotions and apply interpersonal skills.


School Counselor Activities:
  • Deliver school counseling classroom lessons.
  • Help students solve problems and set goals.
  • Provide short-term counseling for students.
  • Provide referrals for longer support and/or counseling needs that are outside the scope of a school counselor's role.
  • Collaborate with families/teachers/administrators/community for student success.
  • Advocate for students' needs.
  • Analyze data to identify student issues, needs and challenges.
