Hello!  My name is Rachel Jacobs and I am the School Counselor at Grand Oaks School. This is my 9th year at Grand Oaks and I think I have the best job in the world!

Here’s a little bit about me: I was born and raised in Humboldt County and attended Eureka High School, Bethany University, and University of LaVerne. I love spending time with my family and friends, eating chocolate, and going on adventures- like camping, surfing, hiking, and traveling to new places! 

I am here to:

• Support ALL students with academic, social, emotional, attendance, and/or behavioral needs
• Provide short-term individual and group counseling
• Teach social/emotional classroom lessons/curriculum and provide academic support to ALL students.
• Provide resources and links to community services and resources
• Collaborate with parents and staff to help your child succeed
• Facilitate Student Study Team Meetings and assist with/monitor 504 Plans
• Suggest appropriate interventions to help your child
• Facilitate conflict resolutions and peer mediations

How can my child see the school counselor?

Students can request to see the school counselor by letting their teacher know or filling out a referral form or this School Counselor Check-In Form. Parents may also refer their child by filling out this referral form.

How can parents talk to the counselor?

I am available via e-mail or phone Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.  Please make an appointment with me if you would like to meet in person.  You can contact me at [email protected] and 530-275-7040, ext. 3212.
