School Counselor

Counseling Department
Hello students and families!

I am Ms. Annie Kuang, your school counselor. As a professional school counselor, my goal is to support the academic, career, and social-emotional development of ALL students. I aim to build a safe and welcoming environment for all students where they feel supported, confident and empowered in pursing their goals. I work with students and families to support students in any way ranging from behavior concerns to successfully transitioning students to middle school and beyond. The following are other services I provide:

  • Individual counseling sessions - Address personal academic, career, and/or social-emotional concerns
  • Group counseling sessions - Group setting (3-6 students) to address common academic and social-emotional areas of need
  • Crisis counseling - Individual with immediate and urgent concerns
  • Classroom guidance lessons - Address academic, social-emotional, and career domains
  • Collaboration and consultation - Implementing classroom interventions, accommodations, behavior plans, and academic plans in conjunction with staff personnel
    • Student Study Teams (SSTs)
    • 504 meetings
    • Individualized Education Programs (IEPs)
  • Open collaboration and communication - Ongoing communication with parents/guardians to support student success
  • Community resources and referrals - Recommendations for counseling/therapy with outside agency/provider and resources for food/housing/clothing/healthcare/child care/etc.

Students can come by any time to see me or make an appointment. I attend Mission San Jose Elementary Monday and Tuesday, and Millard Elementary Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Teachers, staff, and families are also welcomed to make referrals. Parents and guardians, please feel free to call or email (best) if you have any questions, concerns, or would like to set up a time to meet to discuss. I look forward to working with you all!

 

Go Mustangs!
