Role of the Elementary School Counselor
Stephanie DiVisconti is the school counselor at Warren Street Elementary School. She provides individual and group counseling, social/ emotional classroom guidance, crisis intervention, consultation for student success and is an attendance liaison.
School counselors help all students in the areas of personal/social development, academic achievement, and career exploration/development. Students who are recommended to see the school counselor either need immediate therapeutic support or have a skill deficit that is impeding on their ability to be successful in school. School counselors differ from mental health counselors/ psychologists. The school counselor can assist in providing information on mental health providers in the community as well as other possible community supports, if needed.

Banana Splits
“Banana Splits” is a peer support group for students who are facing issues of separation or divorce. A schedule of meeting times will be arranged when the group is formed. We discuss their feelings, how to cope, and grow from their parents separating and/ or divorcing.
How to sign your child up?
Parents/ guardians will need to reach out to their child’s classroom teacher or another adult in the building to request “banana splits” for their child. Then a permission slip will be sent home. Simply fill it out and return it to school.
