Miss Gonzalez 

 Welcome to my web page! My name is Miss Gonzalez, and I am the full-time School Counselor at Roosevelt School.  I am so excited to announce this will be my first year at Roosevelt School and in the Manville School District.  I will be working alongside Ms. Stranieri, who serves as the part-time School Counselor at both Roosevelt and Weston. 

As school counselors, we take on many roles within the school. However, our main priority is to be a resource for the students to foster social, emotional, and academic growth. 

I serve as the Anti-Bullying Specialist in our school and am responsible for completing and resolving investigations on reports of Harassment, Intimidation & Bullying (HIB). I also serve as the Intervention and Referral Services (I&RS) Coordinator to facilitate accommodations and interventions for eligible students. Additionally, I serve as the Roosevelt Testing Coordinator and am responsible for the planning, security, distribution, and collection of the NJSLA standardized test.

I facilitate our building's Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS) program called the Roosevelt Road. Every month of the school year we focus on a different pillar of character, paired with a social emotional learning tool. This system helps our students to embody each pillar of character - safety, responsibility, respect, trustworthiness, fairness, caring, and good citizenship.  It also encourages our students to practice self regulation methods in order to grow socially and emotionally.  Each month we recognize a VIP student who exemplified the pillar and social emotional learning tool! 

Our door is always open, and we are more than happy to speak with our Roosevelt parents/guardians regarding any progress or concern related to their child. We know this year will come with a lot of new challenges and we are here to help in any way we can. Thank you for reading and let's have a great school year on Roosevelt Road!

Mrs. Stranieri

This is my sixth year as a school counselor in Manville. I am part time at both elementary schools, with three days a week at Weston and two days a week at Roosevelt School. Before coming to Manville I spent ten years teaching Language Arts at the middle school level and I also spent a year teaching first graders in China. I love working with students and helping them to succeed. I also enjoy running, gardening, yoga, reading, traveling and learning about different cultures.

My job is to help facilitate personal, social, and emotional growth by holding small group counseling, as well as individual counseling sessions for eligible students. My door is always open, and I am always more than happy to speak with our parents/guardians regarding academic, personal, social, and emotional progress and/or concerns of their students. I am looking forward to a great year!
