Welcome!
Welcome to Bloomfield Elementary School's Counseling Services.
The elementary years are a time when students begin to develop their academic self-concept and their feeling of competence and confidence as learners. They are beginning to develop decision-making, communication and life skills, as well as and character values. It is also a time when students develop and acquire attitudes toward school, self, peers, social groups and family. Comprehensive developmental school counseling programs provide education, prevention and intervention services, which are integrated into all aspects of children's lives. Early identification and intervention of children's academic and personal; social needs is essential in removing barriers to learning and in promoting academic achievement. The knowledge, attitudes and skills that students acquire in the areas of academic, career and personal /social development during these elementary years serve as the foundation for future success.
