ROES Military Connected Students

 

Rossview Elementary School is a military-friendly school that is committed to assisting students and families connected to our nation's military.  Our staff recognizes that military-connected children experience unique circumstances and want to ensure that each student has the support needed to continue to thrive and succeed. We are a proud recipient of the Tennessee Purple Star Award given by the state of Tennessee and the Military Interstate Children’s Compact Tennessee State Council (MIC3).

 

Our school has a Military and Family Life Counselor (MFLC) who works with military-connected students both in small groups and individually in our building. MFLCS are dedicated counselors embedded in military installations throughout the United States and around the globe to provide non-medical, solution-focused counseling and referrals for resources to service members and their families. The MFLC for Rossview Elementary is Mrs. Stacia Buckner, LMFT, NCC.  Her email is buckners@magellanfederal.com.
