Rhoades' Counseling Office
Debra Wheeler, Counselor
Natasha Ferguson, Counselor's Secretary
One of our goals at Rhoades Elementary is to help provide a positive and successful school experience for our students. Some of the counseling duties include counseling individual students as needed, counseling small groups of children with similar concerns (social skills, divorce, anger management etc.), consulting with teachers and assisting them in meeting individual student's needs as well as coordinating referrals to school and community agencies and meeting with parents.
