    Welcome to the 2023-2024 School Year!

     

    My name is Julia Holder, and I am thrilled to be starting my first year as the School Counselor at Littlerock. I feel so fortunate to join this special community of students, staff, and families! 

    For a little bit of background, I hold a Master of Education in School Counseling, a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education from Whitworth University, and endorsements in English language learners and music instruction. Before pursuing school counseling, I taught fourth-grade and also have taught preschool music! Music is a big part of my personal life, and I am also passionate about using music and creative methods as tools for social-emotional learning. 

     

    What Does an Elementary School Counselor Do?

    As the school counselor, I work with all students and families to foster students’ social-emotional and academic development. I offer support individually, in small groups, and provide classroom counseling lessons to all students. I partner with teachers, school specialists, and local agencies to help meet the unique needs of each student. Ultimately, my priority is to help all students and families thrive!

    I am looking forward to meeting and working with your family this school year! 

    Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you have questions, concerns, or are in need of specific support for your child.  I am here to help!
