My name is Amy Sexton, and I love being the School Counselor at Lago Vista Elementary!
As the counselor, I am responsible for teaching guidance lessons that focus on the Lago Vista ISD Character Traits, as well as communication skills, problem solving, respecting others, motivation to achieve, goal setting, and much more.
In addition to providing the guidance curriculum, I serve as the campus 504 Plan Coordinator, and collaborate with teachers, parents, administrators, and the community to help ensure the academic, personal, and social well-being of all students. I enjoy working hard to support and promote every student's opportunity to achieve success in school!
I am also available to meet with students and parents as concerns arise. I can work with students individually and in small groups in the areas of self-esteem, social skills, friendship issues, coping skills, crisis intervention, and a variety of other school and family issues. Please feel free to contact me any time if you have any questions or concerns. I look forward to getting to know all of the students and families of Lago Vista Elementary!

August & September Information
Hello LVES Families!
One of my responsibilities is teaching guidance lessons that are centered around the Lago Vista ISD monthly character traits, as well as communication skills, problem solving, respecting others, goal setting, and more. Each class will see me at least once a month for these lessons, and I am looking forward to seeing them soon!
In our counselor guidance classes this month, I will be explaining my role as their school counselor, and they will also learn about the character trait of Responsibility. I will be teaching what it means to be a responsible person--by doing what you are supposed to do, planning ahead, always doing your best, using self-control, being accountable for your words, actions, and attitudes, and setting a good example for others. We will discuss ways children can show responsibility at home, at school, with friends, and in their community.
At home, you can talk with your child about responsibility, and teach them that by doing chores, answering for their own actions, being trustworthy, and using good judgment are signs that they are growing up and can be trusted with greater freedom! Try to "catch" your child making responsible choices, and let them know how much it means to you.
"The greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence." ~Denis Waitley
