Lincoln Elementary School

Introduction

My name is Mrs. Michelle Kisler, and I am honored to serve as the school counselor here at Lincoln Elementary School. I am here to come alongside you as the caregiver and help your child succeed and reach their dreams! As the school counselor, I am here to support all students in their academic, personal, and social emotional development. My primary goal is to create a safe, inclusive, and nurturing environment where all students can thrive. I provide the following to meet the students’ needs. 

Classroom Lessons: 

With the collaboration of our incredible teachers, I will provide lessons throughout the school year in the classroom. Some of these topics may be about friendship skills, resolving conflict, study tips, self-management skills (coping skills), Zones of Regulation (identifying their feelings) and making good choices.

Individual Counseling:  

Allows your child a chance to share their thoughts, dreams and worries one-to-one with the school counselor. Together, we’ll uncover their strengths, work through challenges and discover the magic that lies within them.  Think of it as their superpower training, where your child emerges even stronger and more confident!

Group Counseling: 

Allows your child to meet with other students that are facing similar challenges or situations. These sessions can cover a variety of topics, such as friendship skills, self-management skills (coping skills), self-esteem building, form friendship connections, learn to communicate effectively and support their fellow classmates. Group counseling can be an invaluable way for students to learn from each other and develop empathy and build a sense of belonging within the school community. 

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work: I regularly collaborate with parents / caregivers / guardian to have a better understanding of your student’s home and school life. If you ever want to talk, have concerns or share a story, please feel free to reach out to me.
