About Us
Please see the beginning of the year letter to families about working with students.
Mrs. Moreland:
I have been a School Counselor since 2005. I have a Bachelor's Degree from Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri and a Master's in Education from Harvard University. I speak French and Spanish and am married with 2 children.
With experience, knowledge, and positive energy, I am confident that together we will complete the goals of the Comprehensive School Counseling Program. I look forward to working with individual students, small groups of students, and entire classrooms as well as providing professional support to teachers, staff, and families.
Ms. Robinson:
I am very excited to be a part of the Bethesda Elementary community and look forward to working with students, their families, and the BE community as a whole.
I have an MBA and an M.Ed. and am currently pursuing my PhD in Counseling Supervision and Education.
When not at BE, you can find me volunteering as an EMT with the Bethesda-Chevy Chase Rescue Squad or exploring the DMV with my husband, two boys, and two rowdy pups.
