Welcome to the HEB-ISD Elementary Counseling Department web page.

Hurst-Euless-Bedford ISD currently has 19 elementary campuses and 20 counselors.

Elementary Counseling Mission Statement:

The mission of the Elementary Counselors is to advocate for students .

Elementary Counseling Goals:

1. All Elementary Counselors will provide developmental guidance and/ or counseling to students to enhance personal, social, educational, and career development during the year.

2. All Elementary Counselors will communicate and/or coordinate information about available resources to parents throughout the year.

3. All Elementary Counselors will provide information, consultation, training, and support services to campus staff.

Elementary counselors work with students, parents, teachers and administrators to help make your child's school experience a success. Character Trait development is a large part of the counselor's job. The district's "Guiding Principles of Exceptional Character" cover respect, responsibility, honesty, compassion, courage, perseverance, self-control, commitment, initiative, cooperation. The counselors and schools work together to develop these qualities in all children to help make them good citizens. Counselors also encourage and use the philosophy of the "40 Developmental Assets". The more Assets a child develops as they grow, the more successful they become as an adult.  An elementary counselor newsletter goes out monthly with information about the "Assets", character traits, parenting tips, social skills and much more. Student success depends on home and school working together to build "Good Citizens for Tomorrow".
