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!

December Information
Hello LVES Families! The character trait for the month of December is Caring. Being a caring person means showing understanding of others by treating them with kindness, compassion, generosity, and a forgiving spirit. In our guidance lessons this month, students will learn ways they can show they care about their families, friends, teachers, animals, and the environment.
And remember, the smallest gesture or act of kindness can often impact others in a big way. A simple hello, smile, or taking the time to ask someone if they are ok, and listening to their answer can really help people feel better. This holiday season, ask yourself how you can help others by showing you care! :)

¡Hola familias de LVES! El rasgo de carácter para el mes de diciembre es Caring. Ser una persona cariñosa significa mostrar comprensión de los demás al tratarlos con amabilidad, compasión, generosidad y un espíritu perdonador. En nuestras lecciones de orientación este mes, los estudiantes aprenderán formas en que pueden demostrar que se preocupan por sus familias, amigos, maestros, animales y el medio ambiente.
Y recuerde, el gesto o acto de bondad más pequeño a menudo puede afectar a los demás a lo grande. Un simple saludo, una sonrisa o tomarse el tiempo para preguntarle a alguien si está bien, y escuchar su respuesta realmente puede ayudar a las personas a sentirse mejor. ¡En esta temporada festiva, pregúntese cómo puede ayudar a los demás mostrándole atención! :)
