Ms. Gentile
I am so excited to be your school counselor this year. My job is to support you and your needs.
This is my 13th year in education. Over the last 10 years, I have been lucky enough to be apart of the Nevitt community.
Within my 13 years of education, I've had experience working as a:
2nd grade teacher (1 year)
5th grade teacher (8 years)
Behavior Interventionist (1 year)
School Counselor (3 years)
I am originally from the Northwest suburbs of Chicago, Illinois. I earned my Bachelors degree at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo and my Masters degree at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix.
Let's have a great year!

What to do if i am unavailable:
What to do if i am unavailable:
If there is a time when I am unavailable to provide support or breaks for a child, first please determine the severity of the situation. If the situation is in extreme need of a counselor (suicide report, threat assessment, DCS call, etc.), please contact Administration first--from there, they will contact me to support.
If a child needs a break but I am not in my room:
Direct the child to my Google Classroom page that has a link to the "Students" tab on my website. The child will have access to different calming strategies & brain breaks. This can be done in another area of your classroom with a timer set for anywhere between 5-8 minutes.
No child should be in my room unsupervised.
If you are in need of any other supports such as fidgets, squishies, noise cancelling headphones, timers, etc., please e-mail me. I am willing to allow you to borrow them until they are no longer needed but a "resource check out" form will need to be filled out.
