How do I see my counselor?
Students may visit their counselor at any time in the Counseling Suite. If your Counselor is not in the office then complete the Counselor Appointment Form. Place the completed form on the door for your grade level counselor. If it is an emergency (someone is in danger, has been threatened, or you are concerned for the safety of someone) – give the form to an adult in the front office and let them know it is an EMERGENCY. Teachers have been given appointment slips that students can fill out or slips are also available in the Counseling Department.
We ask that parents/guardians make an appointment to talk with their student's Counselor by calling or sending an email to their student's Counselor.

About Your Counselor
Tess Wright
2nd and 3rd Grade Counselor
Hello! My name is Tess Wright and I'm loving my first year as a school counselor at Russell Elementary. I graduated from the University of Georgia in 2015 with my BS in Psychology and BA in Cognitive Science. In 2018, I graduated with my Masters in Professional Counseling.
I got married in September 2018. My maiden name is Watson which is why my last name in my email is different than Wright. I love to read, travel, play board games, and go to the movies.
