Meet the School Counselor

Hello. I'm Ms. Cheryl Richeson the School Counselor at Arthur Ashe, Jr. Elementary. I am excited to start my 19th year with Henrico County Public Schools. My counseling program involves individual and small group counseling, as well as classroom lessons. I have several other roles at school: 504 Plan Case Manager, Volunteer Coordinator, Attendance Support, and our School Safety Chairperson. Also, I provide consultation and collaboration services to our teachers and parents to support the academic, social and emotional needs of our students. I look forward to a great school year.
