My name is Anne Busbin.  I am the school counselor at Richland Elementary.  This is my fifteenth year as a RES Champion.  I am here to serve you and your child however I can.  Please feel free to call (887-1980) or email (ajbusbin@auburnschools.org) if you need to get in touch with me.  

Here is some information about my role as a school counselor:

School counselors foster the academic, social/emotional and career development of students throughout their academic careers.  Our goal is to support students in reaching their full academic potential and enjoy a positive school experience.  School counselors work with students, parents and fellow staff members to help students be successful in the classroom environment.  Counseling services include classroom guidance lessons, individual and small group sessions and crisis counseling.  Counselors act as a liaison providing information and resources with school based support teams and outside agencies. 

Auburn City Schools offers school based mental health services for students with significant issues that impede classroom learning.  For more information, please contact your school counselor or administrator.

 Classroom guidance lesson topics:  Skills for school success, personal safety, goal setting, interpersonal and intrapersonal relationships, careers, character development, school transitions and more.

 Individual and small groups address topics such as:  organizational skills, changing families, anxiety, test-taking skills, self-esteem, social skills and more.
