Hello!  I am the School Counselor at M.J. Fletcher Elementary School.  I hold an MSED in Counselor Education from St. Bonaventure University.  This is my 5th year working for Jamestown Public Schools.  My past experience includes working as a Mobile Therapist for Barber National Institute.  

Elementary school counselors are integral to the total education program.  It is my responsibility to provide education, prevention, and intervention activities to our students.  I collaborate with school staff, administration, and community/family members in the delivery of programs and activities to help students achieve success.  My goal is that through social/emotional interventions, I can remove barriers to learning and help students develop skills and behaviors critical for academic achievement.  

I am very involved in our PBIS program (Tier 1 & Tier 2).  I am also on the Child Study Team, Shared Decision Making Team, Crisis Response Team, and the Emergency Response Team.  

I can be reached at 483-4453 or via e-mail at gillian.m.lamancuso@jpsny.org

I look forward to working with you and your child.
