Hello! My name is Taylor Walden, and I am so excited to be your child's counselor this school year at Madison Avenue Elementary!
On this page you will find information about MAE's School Counseling program, which provides support, guidance, and life skills to students in grades K-2. The structure is three pronged and provides services for: Information and Prevention, Development and Support, and Intervention and Redirection.
Support may be requested from the counselor through: self-referral, parent referral or teacher referral. As a counselor, I consult and collaborate with teachers, administrators, and parents in an effort to provide a comprehensive support system for students.
At MAE, we also implement the Kingdom System as part of our Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support (PBIS) program. By implementing the kingdom system, our goal is to strengthen the school’s community and encourage students to see themselves as part of a school family. This teaches them to make good choices for the benefit of everyone in their community, to work together for everyone to be successful, to work towards a common goal along with peers, and to understand that consequences for making bad choices can affect not only self but also others. This system aims to encourage a real sense of pride and achievement for the students by fostering community spirit and giving them an opportunity to contribute to something bigger.
| If you have concerns for your child at any point during the school year, please don’t hesitate to contact me at 601-856-2951 or e-mail me at twalden@madison-schools.com.
I look forward to a great year at Madison Avenue Elementary!
