School Counselor
Mrs. Alexandra Skura
I offer small groups based on need and number of referrals.
Referrals can be made by teachers, parents/guardians or students. I try to include a variety of students in each of my groups and want to give as many students as possible an opportunity to be in one of my small groups.
**Not every group on this page is guaranteed to be offered during this school year. If you think your child would be a good fit for a small group, please let me know!
