Welcome to Trail Wind Elementary. It is our hearts desire that every student has a successful school year. Some of the services that the counseling program at Trail Wind offers are listed below. Please do not hesitate to contact the counselor if you have a question or concern about your child.

Schedule:
Connie Johnson - Monday through Friday
Laura Nielson - Tuesdays, working with the fifth and sixth grade classrooms.

Focus areas: 

• Classroom guidance lessons are taught in each classroom to help students understand themselves better, communicate clearly, and get along with others.
• Small groups are offered to assist students in being a better student, adjust to changes in their lives, or get along better with others. You may talk with a counselor at school to see what group may benefit your child.
• Individual work with students to help students adjust to school or deal with specific problems they are experiencing that may be interfering with their school performance. School counselors work with children on a short term basis and do not provide therapy.
• Parent education classes are provided by the Boise School District and taught by district counselors.
• Parent/staff consultation are provided for parents to learn about their child’s progress in school and/or assist in areas that may be a concern.
