Hello, my name is Ken Slusser. I'm the guidance counselor here at Lincoln Elementary School. On an individual basis, one of my main objectives is to help students develop practical solutions to their school related problems. Whether their concerns are academic, social, or emotional, I assist students in making their own decisions based on the choices available. Collectively, I take a proactive stance by visiting the classrooms to do presentations on topics such as The Six Pillars of Character, Appropriate Topics of Conversation, and Anti-Bullying. My responsibilities also include; Conflict Resolution, Intervention and Referral Services (I&RS), and assisting the principal, Ms. Cavuto, with administering the NJASK tests.

Due to the recent tragedy that occurred in Newtown, Connecticut, parents and teachers alike may find the following websites/documents helpful:
