Hello! My name is Candice Hutchings and I am excited to serve as the school counselor this year. I achieved my Bachelor's degree at the University of North Texas and my Master's in Counseling from LeTourneau University. I completed my School Counselor Certification through Angelo State University. I am looking forward to getting to know each student and partnering with families and staff to help every child grow academically, socially, and emotionally. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where students feel valued, confident, and empowered to reach their full potential. I can't wait to welcome everyone back and make this a wonderful school year together!
Meet our Relief Counselor!
Hi, I'm Ms. Sloane Sivek and I'm excited to be serving as the Relief Counselor at Providence Elementary! This is my second year with Denton ISD. I am currently a 3rd year doctoral student at the University of North Texas, where I am studying School Counseling and Play Therapy. I am also a Licensed Professional Counselor-Associate, supervised by Dr. Leslie Jones, PhD, LPC-S, RPT-S. I am also working toward my Professional School Counselor certification.
Originally from Arizona, I love spending time outdoors, whether it's hiking, exploring new places, or enjoying nature. I also enjoy baking and trying new recipes in my free time.
I am looking forward to an amazing school year and can't wait to get to know all of the incredible students at Providence Elementary!
