Ms. Gaeta is the school counselor at
Christa McAuliffe Elementary. She is at McAuliffe every day. School counselors
work with all students in the school to help them do their best in school.
They work with students individually, in small groups, and in the
classroom. They also work with parents, teachers, and administrators to
help students to succeed in the classroom.

Counselors address all
sorts of concerns, such as peer relationships, academic concerns, family
issues, career exploration, middle school transition, self-control,
behavior concerns, and developmental issues. Counselors can provide parents
with developmental resources and referrals to services in the community.

Students can self-refer by filling out a referral notice and putting it in
the counselor’s baskets or boxes throughout the school. Parents, teachers,
and administrators may refer students to the counselor as well. If you have
a concern or a question concerning your child, parents may call Ms. Gaeta
at (703) 680-7270 to set up an appointment.
