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 6th 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.
