Welcome to the Broadway Elementary School Counseling page!

Hello! My name is Aimee Garrett and I am the school counselor at Pine City Elementary and Broadway Elementary schools. I split my week between the two buildings (Broadway: Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesday mornings; Pine City: Wednesday afternoons, Thursdays and Fridays).

This is my first year in the Elmira City School District, and I am so excited to be a part of the team. Parents, students and staff have made me feel very welcome in this new position. I love being a school counselor because I have the opportunity to meet with so many different people.

By working closely with parents, students and staff, I can help students be successful in and out of school. Teaching students coping skills, appropriate ways of dealing with feelings and making good choices are all tools that will benefit them in the future.

As a school counselor, I meet with students individually when they are having problems at home or at school. I also meet with students in small groups covering various topics (i.e.: social skills, anger management, etc.). In addition, I go into the classrooms to do lessons on a variety of topics that have been chosen based on a staff needs assessment.

Communication between home and school is vital in helping our students be successful, and I welcome e-mails and phone calls from parents/guardians regarding any concerns or questions you may have.

When I am not at school, I enjoy reading, watching movies, running, visiting with friends and family and attending local events. I look forward to a great year!
