Counseling

 

ATTENTION 6TH GRADE STUDENTS AND PARENTS!

It is again the time of the year when we meet with 6th Grade students and their parents/guardians to plan for their future success in Junior High.

This College and Career Readiness (CCR) Conference will take about 30 minutes and should include the student AND their parents.  

We are required to complete the CCR form for the Junior High School that serves your home address.  If you plan to apply to a different school than this, we can also complete the form for that school during the same conference.  If this is the case, may we suggest you contact the desired school to apply for boundary exception as soon as possible.

If your child will NOT be attending an Ogden School District school (Mound Fort, Mount Ogden, or Highland), please contact us to let us know.  Email stokerd@ogdensd.org 

Please use the following link to sign up for a time for your child’s CCR Conference.

Meet Our Counselor

Hello Timberwolves! My name is Dorian Stoker and I am the School Counselor at Taylor Canyon Elementary.  I am extremely pleased to have the opportunity to serve our school and community.
 
I have been a counselor in Ogden City Schools since August 1993, making this my 29th year in the district.  My past assignments were at Mount Ogden Middle School/Junior High School for 20 years (from 1993-2013) then splitting my time between Shadow Valley and Wasatch Elementary Schools for 6 years (2013-2019).
 
I have a B.S. degree (Composite degree in Business and Education) from Brigham Young University in 1980; and M. Ed. In Educational Psychology (Counseling and Guidance emphasis) in 1985, also from BYU.
 
I am the proud father of 3 amazing and accomplished (now adult) children.  And adoring grandfather of 7.

Helpful Sites on Safe Technology Use

 
While, from the perspective of the guardian, limiting technology-based interactions during the summer appears to be in the best interest of a child or teen, it's important to understand the positive and negative impacts this may bring about. In this vacation-themed blog, we'll explore how to effectively integrate healthy technology practices into a summer routine.
 
Today’s children are growing up in a high-tech world. According to a 2015 national survey by Common Sense Media, 53 percent of children 8 to 12 have their own tablet, and 24 percent have their own smartphone.
 
 
Great Attendance is: Every Student, attends school Every Day, and On Time. Please continue helping your student attend school every single day.  Classrooms celebrate by earning the Weekly Best Attendance Trophy.  If your student must be absent, please call the attendance line 801-737-8950 first thing in the morning and leave a message of your student's name, grade, your name, and reason for absence.

School counselors are advocates for students. They seek to build relationships to help students grow emotionally, socially and academically. Counselors are first and foremost here to support student academic and learning development, helping students achieve school success. Second, life and career development, which helps students focus on future life and career goals. Counselors work to provide an awareness of multicultural and global citizenship to allow students to see opportunity in the ever evolving global communities. Finally, the school counselor provides social and emotional support allowing students to develop resiliency and strength as they work towards their future. Your school counselor is in the school to support you!
