School Counselor
Your Elementary School Counselor is Mrs. Marie Wurtz
Welcome to the Elementary School Counselor webpage! My name is Marie Wurtz and I am the school counselor for all students in grades PK-5. I have been working at ACS for over eight years now. I am very grateful that I get to be a part of students daily lives by helping them to grow, learn, develop, and build relationships throughout their elementary school years.
As a school counselor, I work with students, parents, staff and community members to support student success. I deliver classroom lessons to address various student competencies and developmental skills using the research-based curriculum, Second-Step. I also provide students with individual and/or small group counseling services when the need arises. If you would like to know more or if you have any questions please contact me using one of the methods below.
