The First 30 Days School Counselor Vault | Elementary Counseling Starter Toolkit

Your first 30 days are already planned!

The beginning of the school year can feel exciting, hopeful, and completely overwhelming.

Before you have finished organizing your office, you may already be scheduling classroom lessons, responding to referrals, preparing small groups, supporting student behavior, communicating with families, and trying to document everything you do.

You do not need another folder filled with random school counseling resources.

You need a clear place to begin.

• Organize your schedule and counseling program
• Create repeatable workflows
• Prepare ready-to-use student supports
• Plan small groups and Tier 2 interventions

More Than 80 Pages

The value of this resource is not simply the number of pages.

The vault helps answer the questions school counselors often face at the beginning of the year:

• What should I focus on first?
• Which systems need to be set up now?
• How should I organize referrals and small groups?
• What can I use when students need immediate support?
• What should I begin documenting?
• How can I communicate my role and show my impact?

You do not have to use all 80 pages at once.

Start with the section that solves your most immediate problem, then return to the rest as your first month unfolds.

Perfect For

• Elementary school counselors
• New school counselors
• Counselors changing schools or grade levels
• Counselors rebuilding their program systems
• Counselors who want a more organized start to the year
• Counseling interns and practicum students
• School counseling departments creating consistent procedures

Why You Will Love It

This vault helps you spend less time searching, creating, and piecing resources together—and more time supporting students.

• Organized counseling workflows
• Practical Tier 2 tools
• Stronger documentation systems
• A foundation for showing your impact

Your school year may still include unexpected referrals, schedule changes, and imperfect moments.
