Counselor's Corner

Ms. Laurenne Siklóssy Moreland
Counselor, Vineland K-8 Center 
E-mail


I am Laurenne Siklóssy Moreland, and I am delighted to present myself as the new Vineland K-8 Center Guidance Counselor for the 2007-2008 academic year!

I come to Vineland with a wealth of experience, knowledge, and energy to complete the goals of the Division of Student Services which are to assist students to reach their academic, personal/social, health, and career/community potential. I look forward to working with individual students, small groups of students, and entire classrooms as well as provide professional support to teachers, parents, and staff. My work philosophy is to stay positive and look for skills and strengths in students. When students receive the encouragement and assistance they deserve, they have no limit as to what they are able to accomplish.

Now that you know a little bit about me, I’d like to outline what will be included in this Counselor’s Corner. I have included some parenting tips, helpful websites, community agencies, tutoring links, and book resources. I hope that these resources will be useful to you.
