Mrs. James is the school counselor for our Second grade students and is at Valley View on Cycle Day 4 (in the pm) and all day on Cycle Day 6. The counselor at your child's grade level will handle the classroom guidance, small groups, and handle the ongoing individual  needs of the students at the grade level.  On the  days Mrs. Flannelly and Mrs. James are at Valley View, however,  they will be available to help with the social/emotional  needs that might come up with students regardless of their grade level.
