Welcome to the School Counselor's Spotlight
Dear Parents,

Welcome back to a brand new school year! I would like to take this time to introduce myself and let you know about the counseling services available at Edgewood Elementary School.  This is my second year during this stint at Edgewood and my 14th year as a Professional School Counselor.  Overall, this is my 25th year as a human service professional.

On a daily basis, school counselors are involved in character education, violence prevention, bullying education, career planning and much more.  During the school year, I will provide classroom lessons to all students and individual and group counseling sessions as needed.   A new character recognition program will begin in August and a student in each class will be recognized for exemplifying that character trait and will be rewarded with a “superstar” pencil and will be listed on the bulletin board in the cafeteria during the specific month. 

Groups and individual sessions are all voluntary and offered to all students. These services are provided for your child so he/she can have the opportunity to address concerns so they do not get in the way of learning. If you would like counseling for your child this year, please complete the attached form (front and back). Even if you do not have concerns at this time, you are welcome to complete the consent in anticipation of future issues.  All counseling is confidential except if it is in the child’s best interest for me to disclose to the proper authorities, such as in the case of abuse, neglect, or endangerment. I am happy to discuss general impressions as I work with your child so you may best help him/her at home.

Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to work with your child. I look forward to seeing you all soon. Feel free to call me at 910.642.3121 or email me at msimmons@whiteville.k12.nc.us any time you have a concern about your child’s well-being. I will do my best to help you and your child.

Sincerely,                                                 
Monché V. Simmons, M.A.
Professional School Counselor
