Counselor
School Counselor
Dear Monte Vista Community,
My name is Jacob Trujillo and I am the school counselor here at Monte Vista! My goal is to be useful in my school community, assisting students in meeting their everyday needs and creating a safe learning environment for all students. As a school counselor, I work with all students, whether it is individually or as a group. During the school day, I work with students one-on-one and in small groups, provide classroom lessons and enjoy spending time out on the playground with my students. Some topics I explore with students include school safety, friendship skills, conflict-resolution, listening and responding, and mindfulness. Exploring these topics, I believe students will expand their social and emotional learning, giving them the skills, or tools, to better
navigate their school day and everyday life.
School Counselors can meet with students on a short-term basis, when necessary, to respond to events and certain conditions. Responsive services consist of activities designed to meet students immediate needs and concerns. School counselors make referrals to appropriate community resources for students who require therapy or long-term counseling services.
