• Mrs. Cassandra Carroll - School Counselor - ccarroll5585@olqany.org

My name is Mrs. Carroll, I am both excited and honored to be joining this amazing team of educators and staff. I look forward to meeting you and your child(ren) soon and helping them meet their own personal goals for this school year and beyond!

A bit about me, I studied and received my Master's Degree in School Counseling at LIU and have always had a passion to help children. In my previous position, I worked closely with special needs students. I also worked in a Catholic School for the last 4 years, so I am extremely familiar with this setting and bringing God into my work. Some of my interests include spending time with family & friends, caring for animals, traveling, Disney World, reading and playing video-games!

My goal is to support the academic, career, and social/emotional development of our students. Often this will require my collaboration with administration, teachers, and parents to provide emotional and educational support for all students. 

Small-Group & Individual Counseling

Students can meet with me during lunch or at a scheduled time. All students are welcome, counseling can be in a small group or individually. 

Lunch Bunch

Something new I hope to introduce to our students! Lunch bunch consists of small groups aimed to improve social skills, increase self-esteem, and peer relations. The group provides students with a "safe space" where they can talk freely about their stress, concerns, and/or ideas. Recommendations for possible participants are welcome from parents and teachers.

SEL Push-in Lessons
Occasionally I will push into the classrooms to provide Social/Emotional lessons to our students. Some examples of what the lessons may touch on are as follows:

• managing emotions
• bullying prevention
• achieving personal and collective goals
• building strong positive friendships
• how to feel and show empathy for others 
• making caring and responsible decisions 
• developing a growth mindset
• celebrating cultural diversity
