Mr. Solis (A - Go), Mrs. Villasenor (Gr - Pa), and Mrs. Bartolovich (P - Z and ELL Students) are here to address students' social/emotional, academic, and career needs!  Students will see us on campus, in the halls, in our offices, and even in classrooms doing group guidance presentations!  Our offices are a safe place where students feel supported and welcome.  Every day, students face challenges; tough classes, peer pressure, as well as family and personal concerns. (American School Counselors Association) At Placerita, one of our goals is to help students through these challenges.

The Placerita counseling department offers a comprehensive program that focuses on academic, career, and personal development. We meet with students at various times during the school year to review progress toward promotion and reaching their goals. Each counselor works with specific teams to monitor student success. If a student wants to meet with a counselor, we encourage him/her to come to the counseling office before school, brunch, lunch or after school. In addition to working with students, we are also available to work with parents and teachers. We have found when students are having academic, behavioral, emotional, or social difficulties, collaboration between the teacher, counselor and parents is often most helpful for students.
