Hello Tuttle Elementary students and parents. I am Shanda Parker the school counselor. This is my 18th year in education, 13th year as a school counselor and my 8th year at Tuttle. I really look forward to working with the students and families at Tuttle again this year! It is my mission as a professional school counselor to be a leader and an educator that students can rely on and consult regarding any issues or problems they may have. I show no bias so that I can ensure all students have an equal opportunity to achieve their goals. I am here to guide all students on their path to academic, career, and personal/social development so they may be able to reach their potential and succeed wherever life may lead them. I will do this by working with parents, teachers, administrators and the community to advocate for the students while at the same time following confidentiality and ethical practices. Please feel free to contact me any time with questions or concerns. 828-428-3080 shanda_parker@catawbaschools.net Bachelor of Science Degree in Human Services Master of Arts Degree in School Counseling
