This is my sixth year as the School Counselor at Lake Street Elementary School.  I received my undergraduate degree from Potsdam State University in Psychology and Sociology (minoring in Human Social Services).  I attended graduate school at St. Lawrence University were I earned my masters degree in Counseling and Human Development, and completed my Certificate of Advance Study (C.A.S) in School Counseling from Oneonta State University. 

The counseling and guidance program at Lake Street fosters positive personal, social and emotional development of all K-2 students. As an elementary school counselor, I provide classroom guidance lessons, short-term individual counseling, small group counseling and crisis intervention support services, as well as consultation for parents and teachers.

My door is always open so if you need anything please don't hesitate to contact me.  If you have any questions or concerns I can be reached by phone (315) 687-2981, by e-mail jbaran@chittenangoschools.org, or in person by stopping in at Lake Street, I am here everyday M-F.

I look forward to another successful year working with Lake Street students and families!

Sincerely,

Julie Baran
