Jonesboro Middle School Counselors

My name is Mrs. Taylor and I am the School Counselor for 6th and 8th graders.  I have been a Counselor at Jonesboro Middle School for eight years. I am so happy to be part of such a wonderful school and community. My job is to help students be successful in school! I do this by delivering a school counseling program that improves student outcomes. I promote equity and access for all students by connecting the school counseling program to the school's academic mission and school improvement plan. My goal is to make school an enjoyable experience for our students so that they will come to JMS with a spark for learning. I love spending time with my family, Disney and traveling.

It is with great pride that I introduce myself, Ashley Wallace as one of the Professional School Counselor of Jonesboro Middle School (JMS). I am honored to serve our school community and to help guide your child through the unique and sometimes challenging journey of middle school. 

At JMS, I strive to shed L.I.G.H.T.; Listening, Inspiration, Guidance, Help, and Teachings for each student. I want every student to know that my office is always open to them. Whether they need a safe space to talk, a place to find encouragement, or somewhere to celebrate their successes; they are always welcome.  

As your child’s Professional School Counselor, my primary mission is to promote the academic, personal, and social development of ALL students which will lay a foundation for a bright future. I will be meeting with students individually, in small groups, conducting classroom instruction lessons, meeting with parents, collaborating with teachers and staff, and consulting with community organizations to meet the diverse needs of our JMS scholars.

Students can request to see me anytime, and referrals are welcomed by teachers, administrators, or parents. I encourage you to reach out if you have concerns regarding your scholar. If you would like for me to meet with your child please do not hesitate to contact me, I can be reached by phone at 678-610-4331 ext. 514124 or via email at ashley.wallace@clayton.k12.ga.us. Wishing you and your family a successful and fulfilling school year! #BEARPRIDE
