Hello and welcome! My name is Celina Galaviz, and I am proud to serve as your school counselor. This year marks my 12th year in education, all of which have been spent at the elementary level. I have had the joy of teaching both kindergarten and fifth grade, and I am now entering my 6th year as a school counselor.

In addition to my work in education, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and am currently working toward becoming an LPC Supervisor to help guide and mentor future LPCs. Originally from Fort Worth, I am new to the Garland area and have truly enjoyed getting to know our community.

I am passionate about supporting our students’ social and emotional growth, and I am excited to continue partnering with families and staff to help every child succeed—both in and out of the classroom.

What can my counselor do for me?

Weaver Elementary Counseling Vision is to create lifelong learners by providing a safe and engaging school environment where all students feel supported socially and emotionally by all stakeholders.

Weaver Elementary Counseling Mission is to provide a comprehensive guidance program and counseling services to all students in order to promote academic success, social emotional learning and college/career readiness as supported by teachers, parents and community.

Zones of Regulation

The Zones of Regulation is a school-wide framework we use to help students identify and manage their emotions. It teaches students how to recognize their feelings, understand how those feelings affect their actions, and choose strategies to help them stay in control and ready to learn.

The program organizes emotions and states of alertness into four color-coded “Zones”:

• Blue Zone – Low energy or sad, tired, sick, or bored

• Green Zone – Calm, focused, and ready to learn

• Yellow Zone – Heightened emotions such as stress, frustration, excitement, or silliness

• Red Zone – Extremely heightened emotions such as anger, fear, or feeling out of control

By learning about the Zones, students develop self-regulation skills, emotional awareness, and tools to support their own well-being. We encourage you to ask your child, “What Zone are you in right now, and why?” This helps reinforce the language and strategies they are learning at school and gives you insight into how they’re feeling.

No student should be subjected to bullying or harassment that interferes with their ability to learn or their safety.
