🌟 Greetings, Wonderful Valley View Elementary Family! 🌈
I'm Janea Jaime, and it's my absolute joy to serve as your School Counselor. Transitioning from a career in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2014, I embarked on a rewarding journey within Alvord Unified School District.
As your School Counselor, I'm here to champion the emotional, social, and academic well-being of our fantastic students. 🎓🤗 My mission is to create a nurturing environment that honors each child's unique journey through their formative years.
Here's a glimpse into the exciting aspects of my role:
👩🏫 Classroom Guidance: I conduct engaging presentations on crucial topics like bullying prevention, study skills, and emotional regulation to contribute to the overall well-being of our school community.
👫 Small Group Counseling: Together, we navigate common challenges in supportive group sessions, fostering a sense of community among students facing similar issues.
🤝 Individual Counseling: Offering one-on-one short-term counseling provides a safe space for students to express personal and emotional concerns. Additionally, I connect students and families with valuable community resources.
🚨 Crisis Intervention: I'm here to respond to and manage crisis situations, collaborating with staff and parents to ensure a comprehensive support system.
🤝 Collaboration with Teachers and Parents/Caregivers: Working closely with our amazing teachers and parents, I strive for a unified approach to support the well-being and success of each child.
My passion lies in empowering young minds to overcome obstacles, build resilience, and thrive both academically and emotionally. 💪📚 By blending my mental health background with a dedication to education, I aim to positively contribute to the growth and development of our incredible students.
Feel free to reach out anytime! Whether it's a call to the school, a message through ParentSquare, or finding me in the Campus Directory on this website, I'm here for you. Let's create a supportive and thriving environment together! 🌈✨
