Jill Jones
Elementary School Counselor
Hello Hilltopper students and families,
My name is Jill Jones, and I am the elementary school counselor here at Cambria-Friesland Elementary School. I am so excited to be part of the staff and work in the community I live in and am passionate about.
My career has brought me a wide variety of experience with fifteen years as an agriculture teacher and then ten years being a grain accountant. In the fall of 2022 I started back in school to work on a master's degree in school counseling, and I am thrilled to be a practicing school counselor while I continue my education at UW-Superior. I will graduate in May of 2025.
As the school counselor I enjoy working with students, parents and staff to support elementary students with their academics as well as their behavior and their social-emotional needs.
I will be meeting with elementary classes once a week to provide group character lessons, as well as small group interventions and individual therapy when needed.
This year the counseling department on the elementary side welcomes Madison Nelson as the elementary school counseling intern.
Hilltopper Proud,
Jill Jones

Miss Madison
Elementary School Counselor Intern
Hello! My name is Miss Madison, and I’m the elementary school counselor intern at Cambria-Friesland School District. I’m passionate about helping students grow socially, emotionally, and academically. I’m currently completing my Master of Science in School Counseling and will be graduating this May. I love working with students through classroom lessons, small groups, and individual counseling to support their well-being and success.
Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with family, exploring the outdoors, and finding new ways to practice mindfulness and self-care.
I’m so excited to be part of the Cambria-Friesland community and to support our students as they grow!

That’s how quickly a child’s brain is developing between birth and age three.
Infants and toddlers are ready to absorb new information, environments, and love from their caregivers.

Kids are spending more time with digital devices -- and at younger ages -- than ever before. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the World Health Organization (WHO) have guidelines to limit screen time. But the reality is there's no magic number that's "just right." What's more important is the quality of kids' content, how it fits into your family's lifestyle, and how your kids engage with it.
