Hello, my name is Mrs. Patricia Forester. I am the school counselor at Noel Elementary. This is my eighth year at Noel and twentieth year as a school counselor.

The guidance department in ECISD provides an array of services for our students and their families. As the school counselor, I implement the Noel Elementary guidance curriculum lessons and provide services for all of our students (both face-to-face and virtual). I also facilitate short-term individual/crisis counseling and small group sessions on a variety of topics. Additionally, I work closely with the administration, teachers, staff and parents/guardians to ensure that the academic and social-emotional needs of all students are being met.
