School Counselor


Welcome to Oak Grove School Counseling!


Oak Grove’s Guiding Principles: Be Kind, Be Safe, Be Respectful, Be Responsible, are the cornerstone to my work with our students.  My hope is to help every Oak Grove child be their best, to feel inspired, safe and supported during their school day. I spend time with all the Oak Grove kids, visiting classrooms and meeting individually with them.  Your child may participate in a small group focused on a variety of topics, i.e., friendships, social skills, impulse control, etc. There’s also the “lunch bunches- each year, at some point, all Oak Grover’s will have lunch with me and a small group of their peers.  It’s a chance to get out of the noisy cafeteria and chat about whatever.

I see our kids managing all sorts of stressors every day. They work hard to sort things out so they can do schoolwork, have friends and get along with others. Sometimes they need a quiet place or a chance to talk; sometimes they need to problem solve and hear another perspective.  As their School Counselor, I try to find whatever might help to settle a child, so they can learn and be successful.  Students can visit with me when the need arises or when a parent or teacher thinks it would be helpful.

Parents and families, please stop by. Whether it be about parenting concerns, school issues or community resources, I am here as a resource for you too.  Call me with any questions or concerns, 802-257-4678 or email me at kmason@wsesu.org.

I look forward to visiting with you!
