Smith Farm Elementary

Who is your School Counselor and what does she do??

My name is Jennifer Krebeck!

I love Smith Farm--GO OWLS!!!                                                                                             

I am married and have 2 children, Riley and Wyatt.

I graduated from Appalachian State University with an undergraduate degree majoring in psychology.  In May 2003, I earned my Master's degree in Community Counseling and worked as a therapist for children, couples, and families before coming to Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools.

What does a School Counselor do?

As a School Counselor, I do many things to help support Smith Farm Students.  I provide:

• Classroom Guidance Lessons which include teaching character traits such as Caring, Respect, Responsibility, Trustworthiness, and Perseverance.  Lessons also include Career interests, Bully Prevention and Leadership, Team building, and stress/anxiety reduction.
• Small Groups which can include anger management, grief counseling, self esteem, friendship skills, or anxiety reducing techniques.
• Individual meetings with students which can include discussing a variety of issues that can keep a student from learning to their full potential.
• Academically Gifted Coordinator helping identify those students who are academically gifted through testing.
• Intervention Support Team Chairperson helping teachers and parents with students who are struggling academically or with behavior at school.

Do you need to talk to the School Counselor?

• Do you feel good about yourself?
• Do you feel overwhelmed about a problem you are having?
• Do you need help making friends?
• Do you have trouble expressing your feelings?
