Hi, My name is Dawna McKnight and I am the school counselor at Rock Ridge Elementary! I have been working in public education since 2002.
When I am not at Rock Ridge, I like to work in my garden, travel, read, yoga, geocaching, and watch my 2 children play various sports.
What does a school counselor do? I teach whole class lessons and support our RRE teachers with the Second Step Curriculum. I work with students individually and in small groups to support social, emotional, and academic skills. I support the RRE Mental Health Team with crisis intervention. I help support families with local resources and services. I am here to support students, staff members, and families during the school day. For on-going individual and small group counseling services, I will need a consent form signed and returned. There is a Consent Form in the Links section.
