Howdy Comets!

My name is Phyllis Chessher and I am proud to say this is my 15th year as Cox Elementary School Counselor.   I wear many hats from School Counselor to Campus State Assessment Coordinator(STAAR) to Mentors/PALS Coordinator.   This year begins my 25th year in education.  I am a proud Aggie, wife and mother.   I am married to a wonderful husband, Craig, and I am blessed to have an amazing daughter, Chloe, who is a Senior at Texas A&M University (class of 2024) studying Biomedical Sciences.   

As a COMET, we are always striving to "Reach for the Stars" academically, socially and emotionally.  I love being a part of the Cox family and working with the students, staff, parents and community.  I am looking forward to another awesome year at Cox.    

GO COMETS!     

WHOOP and GIG 'EM AGGIES!

Access to School Counselor Services:  School counselors serve students both in groups and individually to help students meet academic, personal/social, and college/career goals.  Individual referrals to the school counselor may be made by the student, a parent, or by school staff and administration.  School counseling services do not constitute or substitute for professional therapeutic care. 

School counseling services are available to all students.  Students may stop by the counseling office during the school day. Parents may email the School Counselor or call the counseling office to schedule an appointment or a phone conference.  Matters of urgency will be given priority. 

Confidentiality:  Counselors will respect a student's right to privacy unless (1) a parent/guardian requests information, (2) matters discussed pertain to suicide or possible harm to another person, (#) matters discussed pertain to any type of abuse, (4) there is a legal requirement for disclosure, or (5) there is a necessity to consult with other professionals.
