Page Jackson Elementary Celebrates National School Counselors Week by Honoring Christa Duval
Charles Town, WV — In recognition of National School Counselors Week, Page Jackson Elementary School is proudly celebrating the outstanding work and dedication of school counselor Christa Duval, whose compassion and commitment continue to make a meaningful difference in the lives of students, staff, and families.
National School Counselors Week highlights the vital role school counselors play in helping students achieve academic success, develop strong social-emotional skills, and plan for future goals. At Page Jackson Elementary, Mrs. Duval exemplifies these ideals every day through her unwavering support, leadership, and advocacy.
Mrs. Duval works closely with students to build confidence, strengthen problem-solving skills, and foster positive relationships. Through individual counseling, small group sessions, classroom lessons, and school-wide initiatives, she creates a safe and welcoming environment where every child feels valued and supported. Her efforts extend beyond students, as she collaborates with teachers, administrators, and families to ensure each child’s needs are met.
“Mrs. Duval’s impact on our school community is truly immeasurable,” shared a member of the Page Jackson Elementary staff. “She brings kindness, patience, and professionalism to everything she does, and our students are better because of her.”
In addition to her counseling services, Mrs. Duval helps coordinate programs that promote kindness, resilience, and a positive school climate. Her dedication reflects the heart of Page Jackson Elementary’s mission to nurture the whole child—academically, socially, and emotionally.
As Page Jackson Elementary observes National School Counselors Week, the school community extends its sincere gratitude to Mrs. Duval for her exceptional service and unwavering commitment to student success.
Thank you, Christa Duval, for all that you do to support, inspire, and uplift our Pandas!

TGIF! I hope this message finds you warm and safe after a long week of frigid temperatures and no school! We enjoyed our first day of non traditional instruction today. A packet came home with your students or your child's teacher reached out to you last week regarding what would occur on day 6 of inclement weather. We look forward to returning on Monday!

Mark Your Calendars:
Friday, February 6 will be our 100th day of school celebration! We can't wait to see your child dressed up as their favorite decade or as if they were 100 years old!

A lot is happening in February as we hope to return to our normal schedules. We have spent the month of January assessing your students and seeing where they may need additional support. Should your child need support in reading or math we will be sending letters home to parents explaining the support they will receive.

Stay warm and see you all on Monday!
