Hi there! I'm delighted to serve as the school counselor for students from Kindergarten through 8th grade. My passion lies in cultivating a warm and friendly environment where every student feels valued and heard while receiving the support they need to reach their full potential. Whether a student is dealing with everyday stresses or facing more significant challenges, I offer support and coping strategies to help them navigate their emotions and build resilience.

I look forward to getting to know each student individually, collaborating with grownups and teachers, and contributing to the caring and inclusive community that makes our school special. Please don't hesitate to reach out—I'm here to make this school year a fantastic and enriching experience for your child.

The mission of Woodrow Wilson Academy is to provide an educational environment that nurtures, excites, and motivates children to learn. We believe academic excellence is achieved by pairing our content-rich Core Knowledge curriculum with essential skills like creative thinking, risk taking, and group problem solving. Our program is a partnership with the classroom, providing a safe space where students can explore their full potential among like minded peers.

​

At WWA, our program follows a dual approach to support both our identified gifted learners and those with high potential in specific areas.

​

For students with a formal Gifted and Talented identification, we develop an Advanced Learning Plan (ALP). This plan is a roadmap for growth tailored to each student’s unique strengths, driven by the student's personal interests.   Every ALP includes an "affective" goal chosen by the student to support their social-emotional needs. Goals are monitored throughout the year by both the GT Coordinator and classroom teachers. 

​

We believe enrichment should be available to any student who shows the potential for high level achievement. Each month, we offer rotating enrichment groups for students recommended by their teachers. These groups focus on diverse skills, and provide a supportive environment where students feel safe to seek multiple solutions to a problem and take intellectual risks.

​

Just like every school in Jefferson County, we follow district and state guidelines to ensure our students are meeting their ALP goals. We also recognize that some students may qualify for Jeffco GT Center Schools.  While not all students with an ALP require a center school placement, we strive to meet the needs of all our learners within the academic structure of WWA.

​

We are committed to helping your child reach their highest potential. For more information regarding Advanced Learning Plans, or our enrichment groups, please contact our GT & Enrichment Coordinator.
