This is our Student Wellness Team. These ladies support our students on a deeper level by giving them a safe space to talk about anything they're struggling with. Kids today have different issues than these professionals would have seen even 5 or 10 years ago. The pressures of technology, competitive sports, and increasing academic expectations can easily become all-consuming, so they are here to listen whether it's for a one-off visit, or regular check-ins. Their message is, "You are never in trouble here. We are here to help and support you."
Shuka Hall (Psychologist) loves working with kids to make a positive impact in the lives of the children and families she works with far beyond lesson plans. She wants to help them build up their life skills. Mrs. Hall spends her free time walking, reading, baking, watching reality tv shows. She is energetic, joyous and honest.
Carrie Hansen (Counselor - Middle School) considers working with these students a privilege and loves how much they make her smile. Ms. Hansen enjoys hiking and camping in her free time. She is described as fun, compassionate and great at giving advice.
Kim Ness (Counselor - 3-5) loves that each day is a little different here, also being a support for students and watching them grow socially and emotionally. Every person needs their village/community, and she loves being a part of the students' lives and watching kids be kind and supportive of one another. Mrs. Ness is kind, genuine and knowledgeable. When she's not at school she likes spending time with my family, reading, going to movies, and watching her daughters play volleyball.
Jessica Rossi (Counselor - K-2) loves creating trusting relationships with students and empowering/teaching them how to navigate life's obstacles in a way that works for them. She is described by her coworkers as empathetic, patient and easy going. Ms. Rossi enjoys hiking, biking and traveling with her kids.
