Hello Chatfield Families!

My name is Mrs. Cameron and I am the full-time counselor at Chatfield Elementary School. This is my fourth year working at Chatfield alongside an amazing team of educators, students, and families!

 A little about my role as an elementary school counselor…

Generally, my work with students consists of three main areas: teaching classroom lessons in Kindergarten through 5^th grades, facilitating a variety of small groups, and counseling individual students. This means that every child interacts with the school counselor at some level throughout the year. In addition, I spend time collaborating with teachers and families, supporting students experiencing difficult emotions, assisting mediation in situations of conflict, advocating for the needs of children, and responding to unexpected crisis. Overall, I will help your child have a great school year in any way I can!

 If you are interested in your child participating in either group or individual intervention, please contact me for support. Counseling sessions in a school setting are typically short-term and focus on student-led objectives that help your child reach their academic goals, such as building confident peer relations and/or practicing healthy coping strategies. School counselors do not provide in-depth counseling, so if you feel your child needs more mental health services, I will gladly assist you in finding available resources here in our community.

 Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

I look forward to getting to know you and your student better!

Kindly,

Renee Cameron
