Counseling
The Kapolei Elementary School counselor supports efforts to help all students focus on academic success in school and to prepare them to lead fulfilling lives as responsible members of society. We strive to help students acquire attitudes, values, knowledge, and skills necessary for success in and out of school.


What does a counselor do?

  • Present Character Counts lessons in the classrooms.
  • Meet with new students to help them adjust to our school.
  • Works with small groups on topics like study habits, deployment, divorce, conflict resolution, and grief or loss.
  • Talks with parents and teachers to make sure students are safe and successful in school.

Referral for Services

The first step for any concern is the classroom teacher.  If the teacher needs help to address the needs of a student, the Student Services Coordinator (SSC) and counselor are available to initiate the process to coordinate services to assist the student.
