Meet Your Counselor

Hello Everyone!

My name is Mr. Lockwood and this will be my first year at Nashua-Plainfield Elementary. I graduate from the University of Northern Iowa and look forward to being your school counselor. I really enjoy working with students and doing everything I can to help them find their success! To learn more about what I do and how I can help, you can look at Services Page. You can also find out more about what school counselors do by visiting ASCA's website. Let's make this a year to remember, together!

You can schedule a meeting with me by calling the school or by either filling out a referral form. Online Links: Adult Form / Student Form.
