Trinity Elementary | Santa Fe South Charter Schools Oklahoma City, OK | 195-Day Contract

Santa Fe South Charter Schools (SFS) is a free public charter school district serving more than 5,200 students on the south side of Oklahoma City. For 25 years, SFS has been committed to providing students with excellent educational opportunities, high expectations, and the skills and confidence to have a seat at any table.

Trinity Elementary opened in the 2023–2024 school year and is a growing, close-knit community school built on strong relationships, high expectations, and a deep commitment to student growth. Serving students in PreK–3rd grade, Trinity provides a joyful, structured learning environment where staff work collaboratively to meet the academic, social, and emotional needs of young learners.

As a growing campus, Trinity offers staff the opportunity to help shape school culture, strengthen systems, and build meaningful relationships with students and families.

The Elementary School Counselor at Trinity Elementary plays a critical role in supporting students’ social, emotional, behavioral, and academic development. Working in close partnership with site leadership, teachers, district crisis counselors, families, and community partners, the counselor helps ensure students have the support and resources they need to thrive at school.

This position is structured as approximately 80% counseling services and 20% administrative and school support. The counselor provides individual and small-group counseling, delivers developmentally appropriate guidance lessons, supports attendance intervention efforts, connects families with resources, and helps identify and respond to student needs.

Because Trinity serves young children, the counselor is also an important partner in helping students build foundational skills such as emotional regulation, problem-solving, conflict resolution, self-advocacy, and healthy relationships.

While the counselor works closely with site administrators to support student behavior and well-being, the counselor does not serve as a school disciplinarian or administer consequences. Instead, the counselor partners with leadership, teachers, students, and families to identify underlying needs, develop appropriate supports, and help students build the skills necessary for success.

• Provide individual and small-group counseling to address students’ academic, social, emotional, and behavioral needs in developmentally appropriate ways.
• Help students develop skills related to emotional regulation, coping, friendship, conflict resolution, problem-solving, and self-advocacy
  .
• Deliver classroom guidance lessons and other school wide supports based on identified student needs.
• Conduct student observations and consultations to help identify appropriate interventions and supports.
• Advocate for students’ mental health, well-being, and access to appropriate services.
• Develop and implement individualized student support plans when appropriate.
• Provide short-term support while helping families access additional services when students require needs beyond the scope of school-based counseling.

• Build strong, trusting relationships with students and serve as a safe, supportive adult within the school…
