I am Shacarra Taylor, your school counselor. I am a third year counselor here at Cliffdale. It has been so much fun meeting all of you and working with you. We have so much fun playing games, reading interesting stories, and sorting out our feelings. I look forward to working with you and your parents.

School counselors are an important part of the educational leadership team and provide valuable assistance in students’ social, emotional, and academic/career development. My name is Miss Roey and I am excited to work with you this year as your School Counselor. I provide services such as classroom guidance, small groups, and individual counseling for students and support families throughout their educational career. Providing tools, resources, and advocating for students to succeed is my goal for each one of the students we serve. Together, we will win!

School Social Workers are trained mental health professionals with a Bachelors or Master’s degree in social work.  They are the link between the home, school and community.  School social workers provide direct as well as indirect services to students, families and school personnel such as monitoring school attendance, promoting dropout prevention, consultation, information and referral, identification of at-risk students, and counseling.  In addition, they provide prevention, crisis intervention, and conflict resolution.

Available: Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings until 11:30am

At Cliffdale, we use Positive Behavioral Intervention & Supports (PBIS) to improve school safety and promote positive behavior.  PBIS is a process for supporting and encouraging All-Star students to use positive behavior strategies as common practice.  All students learn and implement the STAR pledge as a part of PBIS:
Safety first
Take responsibility
Always be a problem solver
Respect yourself and others
Strive for success
Students are able to earn ClassDojo points for display of positive behaviors and use these points to cash in for prizes. ClassDojo is the platform used at Cliffdale to communicate within the school community.  With a PBIS focused approach, we are committed to creating a safe and productive learning environment where teachers can teach, students can learn, and all can “Practice Being Excellent, because Excellence is a Habit.”
