Welcome back to another exciting year at McBean Elementary School.  It is my hope that this school year will be full of successful experiences for all students.

The counseling program at McBean is designed to be proactive and preventive. All students K-5, have access to counseling services. The following are a part of the program:

Building-wide curriculum-called  Sanford Harmony. These SEL discussions will be teacher lead and will take place daily in the morning to help students develop awareness and skills in managing emotions, setting goals, building relationships, and making responsible decisions. 

Classroom Lessons-These lessons will be done by me in your child's classroom. Lessons will focus on positive character, problem-solving strategies, career development, ect.

Small Group Counseling-Groups will be created based on need. You will be contacted via letter if your child has been recommended to participate in a group. You may also contact me to request that your child participate in a group.

Individual Counseling

Please feel free to contact me if you have any concerns about your child. 

I often work with my students  and not in my office, so email is the best method to reach me: mitchla@boe.richmond.k12.ga.us

You can also reach me by telephone:

Counseling Office 706-592-3723

*Please note that messages left on my voicemail will be returned as soon as possible.

Best Wishes
