It brings me great joy to introduce myself to you all and welcome you back to Dorchester Elementary School. My name is Rose Velli and I am delighted to be entering my second year as the School Counselor. It has been an incredible journey thus far, and I am excited to continue supporting our students on their educational and personal growth paths. As a passionate advocate for student well-being and success, my mission is to create a safe and inclusive space where students can explore their academic and personal goals. I believe that each student is unique and possesses untapped potential waiting to be unlocked.

Students can expect to see me popping into classrooms for guided lesions, running lunch bunches and other groups as well. Whether it's academic, social, or personal concerns, I am here to listen, support, and guide students towards finding solutions that work best for them.

I also collaborate closely with teachers, parents, and staff to foster a nurturing learning environment. Together, we work to address any obstacles that may hinder our students' success and help them develop the necessary skills for a bright future.
