Guidance & Counseling
Dear parents, What a wonderful year it will be at Creekside Forest! We have so much to look forward to this year. I feel very fortunate to be a part of your CFES school family. A bit about me...I attended Indiana University of Pennsylvania. I studied Foreign Language International Studies for Elementary Students, which was comprised of Elementary Education and Spanish. http://www.iup.edu/ After relocating to Texas and teaching 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade, I attended Sam Houston State University and received a Master of Education in Counseling. SHSU provided a plethora of opportunities to counsel, I feel quite fortunate. http://www.shsu.edu/. Please feel free to contact me if you need assistance. I am here as your advocate. elysiaparson@tomballisd.net 281-357-4526 extension 3813 |
