School Counseling Department

Hi Families! We are so excited to partner with you this school year at Knapp Elementary! Our hope is that every student feels safe, important, and loved. We are committed to helping our students navigate those big feelings and ensuring that they are never alone in those situations that keep them from being the best that they can be. Please visit Mrs. Pool's School Counseling Site for more information about her program and family resources. 

Vision Statement


Our vision is to empower our students to grow and achieve 

their maximum potential as life-long learners and 

contributing members of our ever-changing society. 

Every student uses their academic, career, and social and emotional skills

in order to grow and develop into assertive, driven, resilient, and responsible human beings within our school community, 

and the countless opportunities in the world beyond.

Mission Statement


The mission of the Linda Childers Knapp Elementary School Counseling Department is to provide a comprehensive school counseling program

that highlights the academic, career, and social and emotional development

of all learners in a safe and nurturing community. 

By fostering an environment where all students feel safe and empowered, we are committed to mitigating barriers and advocating for equitable access, so that every child is inspired to maximize their unique potential. 

Our mission is based on the following beliefs:

  • When students feel safe and loved, they then feel vulnerable to appreciate

    who they were created to be. 

  • All students have the potential to learn and grow at high capacities. 

  • All students are important and have unique strengths 

    to offer our school family.

  • Through acceptance and mutual respect for self and one another, we will celebrate successes, both the big and the small. 

  • With grit and a growth mindset, all students can achieve their 

    post education and/or career goals.
