Elementary Guidance Curriculum

Ligonier Valley School District Elementary School Counselors are certified professionals who implement a comprehensive, developmentally appropriate, counseling program to all students aged 3 to 12.  Counselors work in partnership with district administration, educators, families, and community stakeholders to provide all students with appropriate academic instruction, career awareness, social and emotional support, and interpersonal skill development necessary for their success as productive, responsible citizens.

The counseling program provides interaction with students through classroom lessons, small groups, and individual meetings. Elementary programs include; Second Step, ROX girls group, XELLO, and PBIS initiatives. Elementary School Counselors align lessons and projects to PA CEW and ASCA standards. Through our curriculum, students are encouraged to work on problem-solving strategies, positive decisions making, effective communication and career development.

Ligonier Valley School District Elementary School Counselors are actively engaged in connecting families with resources through the Elementary Student Assistance Program, MTSS, St. Vincent Prevention Projects, the Food 2 Go program and helping with holiday supports.
