The
goal of the school social work and counseling programs at the
Tahoma elementary schools is to ensure that each child is
successful academically while having fun and feeling safe at
school. The elementary social workers/counselors support
students by helping them to:
- deal
effectively with interpersonal issues (self-esteem, problem
solving)
- build
and maintain healthy friendships
- become
more effective and responsible learners
- learn
appropriate leadership skills
- cope
with family issues (divorce, grief and loss, alcoholism, sibling
rivalry, etc.

school.
