Hello, From Miss J
Hemmerling's School Counselor
Hi Friends!
My name is Miss J and I am so excited to start my third year as your School Counselor and Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) Tier II/III Coordinator. There is nothing I love more than building relationships with students and their families that inspire and equip our students to succeed at Hemmerling and beyond! I am here to assist you in any way I can, every step of the way.
For students needing extra help for them to be successful at school, I provide short term (4-6 weeks) individual or group sessions focused on building important academic, social, or emotional skills. Examples of things I can help with are:
Making and Keeping Friends
Self-esteem
Anger or Worry
Family Changes
Coping with COVID,
and Self-control.

Academic, Behavioral, and Social/Emotional Support
The PBIS Tier II/III Team is Here to Help!
Hemmerling's Tier II/III PBIS team is made up of the site’s principal, school counselor, select general education and resource teachers, a school psychologist, a mental health therapist, and other district personnel.
The goal of the Tier II/III team is to use a team approach to identify and service students needing additional supports in academics, behavior, social/emotionally, and/or attendance in order to succeed at school. We hope to catch student needs early, brainstorm ways to assist the student in their least restrictive environment, actively monitor your students progress with new interventions in place, and actively collaborate with you and your student to measure success.
Students may be referred to the Tier II/III team via teacher, parent, student, or other school personnel request. Other data sources such as chronic tardiness or absences, test scores, student grades, low-level referrals, office discipline referrals, in school or off campus suspensions may also lead to a Tier II/III team referral.
