Welcome to Mrs. McMath’s school counseling webpage! I am the school counselor for grades K-5. As a school counselor, I have the joy of supporting students in their academic, career and personal /social development by working with them during guidance lessons provided in the 6-day cycle, in small groups, or during individual counseling sessions. The elementary years are a time when students begin to develop their academic self-concept and feelings of competence and confidence as learners. They are beginning to develop decision-making, communication and life skills, as well as character values. It is also a time when students develop and acquire attitudes toward school, self, peers, social groups and family. I strive to encourage a positive developmental process and make important, age-appropriate connections between education and career/work standards in accordance with Pennsylvania Career Education and Work Standards.

I also collaborate with school staff and parents to best meet the individual needs of our students. My goal is to provide students, families and teachers with a comprehensive, data-driven school counseling program that follows the model established by the American School Counseling Association (ASCA).

Confidentiality

Privacy and confidentiality are essential to having an effective school counseling program. Fannett-Metal Elementary School recognizes the importance of good communication and good working relationships between students, parents, and the school. Therefore, every effort will be made to protect student and parent privacy rights, except under certain limitations. These conditions include safety issues (intent to harm self and/or others and disclosure of others being harmed), legal issues, and professional responsibilities (see the American Counselor Ethical Standards for School Counselors at www.schoolcounselor.org.
