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!

April Information
Hello LVES Families! During the month of April, our guidance lessons will be about Integrity. Students will understand that having integrity means doing what you know is right, even if no one is watching, being your best self, resisting peer pressure, and choosing words and actions that are sincere.
The primary source for children to develop integrity is their family. Children are not born with integrity, but family and societal influences are what teach children humility, social responsibility, and the courage to stand up for what they believe is right. It is so important for children to have strong role models in their life in order for them to develop the traits and skills they need to be happy, successful people!
“The strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home.” ~Confucius
Hola familias de LVES! Durante el mes de abril, nuestras lecciones de orientación serán sobre la integridad. Los estudiantes comprenderán que tener integridad significa hacer lo que usted sabe que es correcto, incluso si nadie está observando, siendo su mejor yo, resistiendo la presión de los compañeros y eligiendo palabras y acciones que sean sinceras.
La fuente principal para que los niños desarrollen integridad es su familia. Los niños no nacen con integridad, pero las influencias familiares y sociales son lo que enseña a los niños la humildad, la responsabilidad social y el valor para defender lo que creen que es correcto. ¡Es muy importante que los niños tengan modelos sólidos en su vida para que puedan desarrollar los rasgos y habilidades que necesitan para ser personas felices y exitosas!
"La fortaleza de una nación se deriva de la integridad del hogar.” ~Confucius
