Mrs. Brooks  

 Hello! My name is Jerilyn Brooks and I am the Student Services Coordinator at Burnett Creek Elementary. This role is very similar to a School Counselor.  I am a licensed Social Worker that assists children and families in a variety of ways.  Students and I meet individually, as well as in groups, to build social and emotional skills. My hope is that they will learn how to advocate for themselves, find their inner peace and feel safe learning here at school. I also assist families in locating resources in the community such as food banks, therapy, and support services. I LOVE working at Burnett Creek because we have a wonderful school community! Our teachers, staff and school families work so well together and the kids here make us smile daily. Go Bobcats!  

So, here’s a little more about me. Over the last 20 years, I’ve worked in the Social Services field.  I graduated from Purdue University in 2003 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree, majoring in Psychology. Boiler up!!! I returned to school in 2009 and completed my Master’s Degree in Social Work from Indiana University. I joined the BCE family in 2014 and definitely found that my passion is working with kids. I'm so blessed to be here!

My husband, Chad, and I have two amazing kids: Forest who is in 7th grade and Brynlee who is in 3rd grade. We also have a fur baby that weighs more than my kids! His name is Vader and he is a 4 year old Rottweiler. We are a very active family that enjoy doing anything outdoors including camping, fishing, concerts, sporting events, kayaking and swimming.             

Feel free to call or email me anytime with questions or concerns. I'm here to help! 

Sincerely,

Jerilyn Brooks LSW, MSW
