Knight-Enloe Elementary


	Welcome to Counselor's Corner

Welcome, From Knight-Enloe Counselor Brent Meadows 2012-2013 School Year

It is a fact that children do better academically when they feel they are in a safe and healthy environment, When a child feels empowered it increases their self-esteem and their ability to feel better about themselves. As you child's counselor, I work diligently at empowering all students through guidance lessons specifically designed to make them feel safe and secure at Knight-Enloe Elementary.

All information posted on this page will pertain to counseling activities and testing on behalf of this school. Please feel free to come into my office to discuss anything that will help you and your child have a successful school year. All conferences are confidential. The counselor will be offering individual, small group, and large group counseling. Testing information will be made available as notices and updates come from the Alabama State Department. ARMT results from the previous school year will be available by the end of August. All parents will receive a Home Report. If you need help interpreting scores, please contact the school guidance counselor.

	Counselor Notes

Working together is very important for the success of your child. Communication is the key to knowing and understanding. Let's keep the lines of communication open. Your child is of the utmost importance to me. An active parent is the best parent. The doors of Knight-Enloe Elementary are always open to the public. I look forward to serving your child as counselor another year. As activities and events take place at our school, we are always looking for parent volunteers. For our school to be the best it can be, it takes all of us working together.
