CANYON VISTA ELEMENTARY

Dear Canyon Vista Parents and Families,

My name is Katie Pearson and I am the School Counselor at Canyon Vista Elementary School.  As a CUSD Counselor, I am committed to the academic, social/emotional, and career growth of all students.  Through this commitment, I provide a variety of services to students, parents, and families.  These services include:

Students can be referred for counseling support by staff or parents.  Students can also refer themselves using the self-referral form. Parent permission is required for short-term individual or group counseling. 

During the time that we are physically away from school, I will be available to you virtually.  Just like in school, my main priority is to provide you and your family what you may need during this time. 

Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about counseling services.  I can be reached via email, telephone, or by using the Referral links on the left hand side of this page under Referrals.
