What does an elementary counselor do?

The majority of my day is spent in teaching classroom guidance lessons.  The
remainder of the time is spent with children individually or in small groups.
Occasionally, I do some academic tutoring to enhance a student's self esteem
and  provide needed review.  I collaborate with teachers, parents  and other
school personnel to provide the best possible services.

How can I get in touch with the counselor?

You can get in touch with me by leaving me a message in the front office and
having the secretary put the message in my box.  You may call me at school
526-2414 and leave a message for me.  I will be glad to return your call or
set up an appointment. By contacting your child's teacher, she will be
able to let me know  your concerns.
My email is chambersj@k12tn.net

When will TCAP results be returned to me?

The TCAP reports are generated from the State Department in Nashville. 
They are expected to be returned to the school before the end of the
 school year.  You will get them as soon as Capshaw gets them back.
