OGES Counseling

Welcome to Oak Grove Elementary School's Guidance Department!

We are very excited to be working with your students.  All students attend guidance classes on an every other week rotation. Our goal is to teach them skills that will develop their positive sense of self as a student, friend, family member, and citizen.  Students are also able to meet with Mrs. McKinney, our counselor to discuss any needs including the following:

  • classroom behavior
  • social skills 
  • anger management
  • motivation
  • family transitions such as divorce, foster care placement, death of family member, military deployment
  • self-esteem 

Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns regarding your child!  We're here to help you the best that we can!
