Herff Academy Counseling Connection
with Mrs. Tanya Cantu
Greetings!
Welcome back to the 2022-2023 School year! I am the Herff Elementary School Counselor and I am looking forward to working with my Herff school students, teachers and families! The Herff School Counseling Program is available to all students in Pre-K through 5th grade. It addresses their academic, career, personal and social needs. These services are provided through class presentations, group counseling, and individual counseling. Parents, If you need to request counseling for your child, or would like to request a conference with me, I can be reached by email at tcantu3@saisd.net or by phone at (210) 228-3330 ext. 63209.
The school counselor assists students with:
- Academic concerns
- Friendships
- Goal Setting
- Self-Esteem
- Managing feelings (stress, anger, worry, etc.)
- Handling peer pressure and bullying
- College and Career Awareness
There are several ways to request school counseling support:
- A teacher may ask the counselor to schedule a meeting with the student.
- A parent may contact the school counselor and request a meeting between their student and the counselor.
- A student may ask the teacher to meet with the counselor.
- A student may request a meeting with the counselor by completing the self-referral link below:
