Welcome to Lawrence Elementary's Counseling Office Website

What do school counselors do?

School counselors meet and support all students’ social, emotional, academic, and college/career needs. They help maximize students’ potential for academic success, advocate for students, and collaborate with staff and parents to best support students at school.

The counseling office is a safe place for students to visit when they need to talk or when they need academic, social, or emotional support during the school day.

Meet the Counselors

Mrs. Goodpasture (She/Her)

Hello!

I am thrilled to be at Lawrence Elementary as your full-time school counselor. I have been a counselor for over 13 years. Being an elementary counselor is so much fun—we get to go into classrooms and teach curriculums like Leader In Me. Students may also see me on the playground at the problem solving wheel, and helping them make good choices or resolving friendship issues.

Another reason I love the job is that I run counseling groups for students who might need more time to learn certain skills with a few friends. I will always send out permission slips for joining my groups, and I look forward to collaborating with you to teach your kids how to be awesome humans! I may also see students individually, and I will send out permission slips for that as well.

Please reach out if you have any questions! 

Go Labs!
