I am the school counselor for Rusch, Lewiston and Endeavor Elementary Schools. After 16 years as a counselor at Portage High School, I am enjoying the energy and enthusiasm of elementary students. My office is located at Rusch so it is easier to reach me at 608/742-7376 ext. 103. or [email protected]
Rusch Counseling Mission Statement
The mission of the Rusch Elementary Counseling Program is to support our district’s goal by removing barriers to academic success; to promote a safe learning environment where students feel both emotionally and physically secure; to provide a comprehensive and developmentally appropriate counseling curriculum and advocate for all students.
Elementary Counselors believe:
Children have dignity and worth as human beings.
Children learn best when they feel good about themselves and their relationships with others.
Children who understand their feelings are better able to control their behavior.
Children are capable for making responsible choices.
Children form attitudes during elementary school that shape future attitudes toward
learning, self, and society.
Children are resilient and given support, can successfully cope with challenges they face.
