School counseling isn’t just about what happens at school—it’s about creating a TEAM around our students!

One of the best parts of being a school counselor is coordinating parent information presentations that give families helpful tools, resources, and a little extra insight into what our students need to feel successful both at home AND at school.

Kim Edwards the School Counselor at Sigler does a wonderful job at coordinating these special events several times a year. Thank you for your dedication Kim! Sigler Elementary School - Plano, ISD
