Welcome to the Woodbury
Heights Guidance
Counselor's Page
There are two part time
guidance counselors at Woodbury Heights Elementary School. They are
Mrs. Kelly Chropka and Mrs. Lynne Fletcher. Mrs. Chropka is in the building on
Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Mrs. Fletcher is in the building on Friday.
The counselors provide a variety of services to our students and families
which are listed below. They can both be contacted by calling the
school at 856-848-2610.
Individual Counseling:
Students are referred to see the counselor by parents, school
staff, or often seek counseling on their own. Children receive support
from the counselors on a variety of topics such as: making friends, social
skills, conflicts with peers, family changes, problem solving, grief, anger
management and self esteem.
If a child would like to see a counselor they may let their
teacher know or put a request in the guidance counselors' mailbox.
Parents may call the guidance office to conference by phone or in person
regarding concerns about their child.
Group Counseling:
Mrs. Chropka and Mrs. Fletcher offer a variety of counseling
groups throughout the school year. These groups generally meet for 5
or 6 weeks and are designed to be fun and educational. The children
learn together through discussions, activities, and role playing.
Parents are contacted be letter before the group begins and are asked to
sign a permission form for their child to participate. Some topics
that are often addressed in groups are: New Student Transition,
Friendship Skills, Anger Management, and Divorce/Separation in families.
Classroom Lessons:
The counselors teach lessons in each classroom on a regular
basis. They follow our districts' character education curriculum and
are tailored to the social and emotional needs of the students in each
class. Some of the topics included in their lessons are:
identifying and expressing feelings, communication skills, problem solving
techniques, friendship skills, and anger/stress management.
Thank you for visiting the
Guidance Page. We look forward to working with you and your child this
year!
