Welcome to my page! I’m Ms. Lisle (if you ask the students, it is Ms. Lisa), a dedicated elementary school counselor with a Master’s degree in School Counseling. I am passionate about helping young learners navigate their emotional, social, and academic development. In my role, I create a supportive and safe space where students can thrive, build resilience, and reach their full potential. Alongside my work as a school counselor, I am also a proud CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) volunteer, where I advocate for children in foster care, ensuring their voices are heard and their needs are met. Whether through individual counseling, group sessions, or classroom guidance, I am committed to supporting students, collaborating with parents and teachers, and making a positive impact on each child’s educational journey. Whether it’s helping a student through a tough day or celebrating their small victories, I’m here to listen, guide, and cheer them on every step of the way.

Individual Counseling: Students may request to see the counselor as needed. To contact the counselor, students fill out a counselor request slip (located outside the counselor's office and in teachers' classrooms) and place it in the tub outside the counselor's office. Teachers and parents can also request individual counseling for a student.

Small Group Counseling: Students may be referred to small group counseling by a teacher or parent. Small groups are offered at various times throughout the school year focusing on various topics, such as: friendship and social skills, anger management, test anxiety, assertiveness, divorce, and grief.

Classroom Guidance Lessons: The counselor visits each grade level throughout the year to provide classroom guidance lessons. This provides an opportunity for students to acquire academic, social, and emotional/personal skills while working with their peers. Topics may focus upon the monthly character trait, anti-bullying, friendship, organization, tolerance, self-discipline, and honesty. 

Consultation: The counselor often collaborates with parents, teachers, and administrators to provide solution-focused interventions and guidance to promote academic success.
