Hello! I’m Mrs. Dayton, the school counselor here at Reagan. My goal is to support every student’s academic, social-emotional, and personal growth. Whether I’m in classrooms teaching lessons, meeting with small groups, or checking in one-on-one, I’m here to help students feel safe, supported, and ready to learn.
This will be my third year as a school counselor and my second year at Reagan. I began my counseling career in Upstate New York before making the move to Texas, and I’m so happy to be part of the Reagan community.
Outside of school, I enjoy exploring new places and getting creative with arts and crafts. I’m also a proud cat mom to Ripley, my playful 14-week-old kitten, and Reggie, my sweet 16-year-old senior cat. You may even spot a few pictures of them around my office!
I look forward to partnering with our students, families, and staff to help every child feel supported, confident, and successful throughout the school year.
My Role Includes:
Classroom Guidance Lessons – Whole-class lessons on topics such as friendship skills, emotional regulation, problem solving, conflict resolution, and career awareness.
Small Group Counseling – Targeted support for students with similar needs (e.g., coping skills, social skills, grief support).
Crisis Intervention & Support – Helping students and staff during emergencies or urgent situations.
Schoolwide Programs – Collaborating with staff to promote a safe, welcoming, and inclusive school climate.
