I graduated from Texas Tech University with a Bachelor of Science in Education. After teaching in special education for ten years, I received my masters in counseling from the University of North Texas. The 2011 school year will be my 7th year at Bailey Junior High.
At BJH we move with our students. That means that this school year I am the 7th grade counselor. I will follow your student to 8th grade as their counselor next year also. This allows me the opportunity to really get to know you and your student and help them make a smooth transition from elementary to junior high as well as from junior high to high school.
Parents, testing is a very important part of your student's academic life and our goal is for all of our students to score their very best. You can help us with this goal by scheduling medical and dental appointments on non-testing days.
Some advice I would give to a parent of a junior high school student is get to know the school and how it works differently from the elementary school. Know the testing dates so that medical and dental appointments don't conflict. Know grade reporting dates. Grades are sent home with the students. But most of all, know the names of your child's teachers/team and their e-mail addresses. With all of the requirements and limitations on teachers in today's society, e-mail is a great tool to use to stay abreast of what is going on with your child. Start planning now for high school by researching the high school web sites.
I am really looking foward to a great year at Bailey and I hope you are also.
Bailey Simply The Best!!!
