  • Hello Blue Creek Elementary School Family and Friends.

    My name is Elizabeth Atkins and I am the School Counselor at BCE.

    First and foremost, it is the School Counselors’ responsibility to help children get the best possible education. A good education includes not only learning to read, write, and do math, but it also includes learning good social skills. This means, among other things, learning how to get along with other children, making good decisions, controlling anger, accepting responsibility, and being aware of their strengths and weaknesses. Many of these skills are taught at home. It is the School Counselors’ intent to supplement the learning from home through small group and classroom guidance lessons. School counselors are also in the building to help students who are facing particular difficulties. Family disruptions such as an illness, death, or divorce, may affect children at school. If your family is experiencing anything out of the ordinary, please let us know. One of our major functions is to help parents.
