About Our School Counselor

Our School Counselor is Jackie Cardinale, MA MS. You can contact her directly at 858-748-1320 x2210 or via email at jcardinale@powayusd.com. Following is information about
Ms. Cardinale, and how she helps our students and their families.

As the credentialed mental health professional on staff Mondays,  Thursdays, and every other Wednesday. I work with students, families and staff to help students experience success at school.

Through individual and small group counseling, through whole class lessons, collaboration with teachers and other mental health professionals, I help students gain insight into themselves and others, enhance self-concept, and achieve skills in problem solving and decision-making.

I also supervise our PIP (Primary Interaction Program) and Student Support Services.

Please feel free to contact me at any time if I can be of assistance to you and your child!
 

Counseling Services

Elementary School Councelor's provide individual and small group counseling in the following areas:

Academic Success Family Concerns
Personal Conflict Peer Conflict
Self-esteem Goal-setting
Communication Skills Social Skills
Support During Crisis Career Exploration
New Student Support Character Education

Student Support Services

This wonderful program is run by Shannon Beeler. It includes whole class lessons delivered to the primary grades on empathy, impulse control and feelings management. Shannon then follows up with lessons learned to make sure students are able to carry them out on the playground in their interactions with other children.

PIP (Primary Interaction Program)

PIP is capably staffed by Caryn Harris and Judy Cable. PIP has three components: activity room, small group lessons, and playground follow through. The small group lessons use the curricula Second Step, which deals again with empathy, impulse control and feelings management, and Stages which addresses issues children deal with when families are experiencing change such as separation/divorce, a geographic move or even the birth of a new sibling.
