Welcome
Hello Panthers! My name is Carmela Nevarez and I am your school counselor. This is my 4th year at Ernie Pyle, and I love being a part of the Panther Team! As a BUSD School Counselor, I am committed to providing support services for all students to enhance their academic, social/emotional and college and career growth. The goal of my counseling program is to ensure all students develop the knowledge, attitudes, and skills that will lead to behaviors that support academic achievement and social-emotional well-being.
Pyle’s counseling program will provide a variety of services throughout the school year for students, parents, and families in order to support that growth. These services include:
- Short-term Individual Counseling
- Short-term Group Counseling
- Classroom Lessons
- Crisis Intervention
- Conflict Mediation (Restorative Circles)
- Monthly Curated Activities
- Positive Behavior Supports
- Community Referrals and Resources
- Student and Parent Workshops
- Parent/Teacher Consultations
Please email meat carmelanevarez@busd.k12.ca.us if you have any questions about the counseling services provided at Pyle. If you would like to refer a student, please use the correct referral link on the left.
