Hello Niles Primary & Niles Intermediate families!
My name is Nicole Johnston, and I am continuing my journey as a school counselor with both Niles Primary and Niles Intermediate buildings. I am looking forward to helping all students with issues that may be affecting their academics, career, and personal/social interactions. This will be my 5th year as a school counselor but my first year with Niles City Schools. At my prior schools I was able to work with students through individual, group, and classroom guidance lessons in rooms ranging from Kindergarten to 12th Grade.
It is important to note that I am NOT a licensed counselor, I AM a licensed educator. I do follow guidelines set by the American School Counseling Agency (ASCA) and guidelines set by Niles City Schools. ASCA is a nationwide counseling program that provides professional development, publications and other resources, research and advocacy to school counselors.
As I am not a licensed counselor, I might determine that the level of care a child needs goes beyond what I am able to provide and can work with parents and the children to find the right service. I am only in each building part time, and will work to the best of my ability for each child.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions or concerns you may have about or for your child. I look forward to working with your student this school year! Go, Dragons!
