Meet Florence Park

Empresa has one full-time school counselor who services students, staff, and families in a variety of settings. In addition, she supports school attendance, as well as the SST and 504 process for students requiring additional support.

Hello! My name is Florence Park, I am the school counselor at Empresa Elementary. I've been a school counselor for 18 years and 10 of those years, I have been here at Empresa. A school counselor manages a comprehensive school counseling program that focuses on what all students grade TK-12 should know, understand, and be able to do in the three areas of academic, career, and social-emotional development which are the American School Counseling Association National Standards.  The academic, career, and social-emotional competencies are taught through classroom guidance lessons, small group counseling, and individual counseling.  Individual and small group counseling helps students identify problems, causes, alternative and possible consequences so they can take appropriate action.
