Who is Mrs. Long?

Hi, DLR families! My name is Sarayah Long and I am the professional school ​counselor at David L. Rainer Elementary School. I have been at DLR for a total ​of 7 years and whole-heartedly call this place my home. I have taught 1st ​grade, 2nd grade, 4th grade, and am now starting my second year as DLR’s ​school counselor. I love working with children, my two dogs, avocadoes, ​caffeine, and spending time with my family and friends. I look forward to ​working with you and your child/ren this school year!

Who Are Guidance School Counselors?

For those of you who may not know, the title “guidance counselor” has been replaced ​with “school counselor.” The American School Counselor’s Association encourages ​this new term to be used, as it reflects a school counselor’s role more accurately.

School counselors actively work to improve student success for ALL students academically, ​behaviorally, and career-wise. They provide direct and indirect services to ALL students to ​promote academic achievement, identify and close gaps, help plan for postsecondary options, ​and the list goes on. Click on the following images to learn more about the school counselor’s ​role!
