Snoqualmie Elementary Counseling Program

At Snoqualmie Elementary, we believe that a strong foundation in social and emotional well-being is essential for every child's success. Our comprehensive counseling program, led by our school counselor, Emily Bates, is designed to proactively support all students in developing the skills they need to thrive — both academically and personally.

Through a wide range of services, including individual and group counseling, classroom guidance lessons, and collaboration with families and staff, our program helps students build confidence, manage emotions, resolve conflicts, and grow into compassionate, resilient learners.

At Snoqualmie Elementary, we are committed to nurturing the whole child — because every student deserves to feel supported, understood, and empowered.
