Meet the School Counselor
My name is Amie Mykisen and I love being the School Counselor at Knight Elementary. I am passionate about helping all kids feel valued, important and uniquely skilled. I strive to help students reach their fullest potential by building upon their strengths and providing support in areas of social, emotional and academic needs.
What does a School Counselor Do?
School counselors help to support the social, emotional and academic needs of all students. We do this by helping students to build understanding and skills in a wide range of topics including friendship, empathy, calming strategies, problem solving, diversity, kindness, self-esteem, resilience, optimism, career interests and personal safety. School counselors support students in the following ways
Classroom lessons
Individual counseling
Group counseling
Crisis intervention
Consultation with parents and teachers
Coordination with outside agencies and therapists
Referrals for community resources
Please feel free to reach out to me with questions or concerns. You can reach me at 503-263-7100 or amie.mykisen@canby.k12.or.us or visit my Knight Counselor’s Corner webpage for more information on our counseling program and connections to community resources.
Playground Update
Our new playground is starting to take shape. We are anticipating it's completion within the next two weeks.
General COVID-19 Protocol Updates
Thank you all for the patience and determination it takes as we work through the protocols required to be able to have students in school five days a week, all day! For the time being, we are asked by OHA and ODE to implement the following:
- Utilize outdoor eating options (breakfast and lunch outside)
- Encourage students to wear masks outside or stay 6ft apart
- Remain 3ft apart in classrooms
- Utilize outdoor spaces as best as possible
We encourage students to bring layers of clothing as the weather begins to change.
