Counseling

School Counseling Department Mission Statement: The Dansville PK-12 School Counselors collaborate with educators, parents, and community members to support and encourage all students to exemplify the drive, capability and compassion to achieve their full academic, career, social and emotional potential.
Welcome!
The Dansville Primary School is committed to creating a caring, inclusive community where every student feels known, valued, and supported. Through the Be Good People curriculum and the Caring School Community curriculum, students develop the skills and mindsets they need to build positive relationships, navigate challenges, make responsible decisions, and contribute to a respectful school community. These programs provide age-appropriate opportunities for students to develop their self awareness, self monitoring skills, responsible decision making, relationship skills and social awareness in meaningful, everyday contexts.
Social Emotional Learning is woven into the life of our school—not only through dedicated lessons provided by the school counselor twice a month, but also through classroom relationships, schoolwide expectations, restorative practices, and opportunities to care for others. Together, Be Good People and Caring School Community help students understand that being a good person and building a caring community are shared responsibilities. Our goal is to empower every student to recognize their strengths, understand and appreciate others, resolve conflict constructively, and make choices that help our school community thrive.
IMPORTANT: We can respond to phone calls, voicemails, and emails during school hours (7:40 am-3:20 pm M-Th, 7:30 am-2:30 pm on Fridays). However, if you need emergency assistance for your child outside of those hours, call 911.
