Meet the Counselor
Welcome to all of our students and families. My name is Emily Campbell and I have the privilege of being the school counselor at Duke Elementary. I’m truly excited about the opportunity to work with your children this year, and I’m looking forward to building strong, positive relationships with both the students and the community. As a counselor, my main goal is to support the academic, personal, and social growth of every student. I’m here to offer support to students, staff, families, and our community. Whether it’s meeting with students one-on-one or in small groups during lunch, classroom lessons, collaborating with teachers, or connecting with community resources, I’m committed to making sure all of our Duke students and families have the support they need to SOAR.
Elementary School Counseling Services
The school counseling program at Captain Walter Francis Duke Elementary School is designed to assist students in decision-making and to help each child appreciate their self-worth. The counselor facilitates daily and weekly lessons, which may include such topics as mindfulness, collaboration, conflict resolution, empathy, coping with change, goal setting, career exploration, perseverance, and middle school transition. Teachers, families, or students may make referrals for specific problems to the school counselor. The school counselor meets with new students entering our school to welcome and orient them to the school’s expectations and culture and helps coordinate our fifth graders’ transition to middle school through a family information night, registration information, and student visits to the middle school.
