School Counselor, Dr. Jennifer Zimmerman
Welcome to the Counseling Corner
I am your school counselor, Dr. Zimmerman. I have been a proud Park Street Panther for over 20 years., and I enjoy helping students be successful in school and helping parents model behaviors for their children. I offer services through classroom counseling lessons, group counseling, and individual counseling. I can also refer students to services outside of the school setting via our school social workers and counseling agencies. Feel free to contact me if I can help in any of these areas.

Welcome Back!
We are so excited to see our students return to us. The building is not the same without you. A new school year is exciting for most, but for some it can be overwhelming. Parents can help their children transition into the new school year by reading books about starting school, allowing your child to help you when purchasing uniforms, and getting their school supplies. Choosing a new backpack, water bottle, and lunch bag can be a fun task for students. Also, teaching students how to set their alarm clock and gradually going to bed earlier each night will also make the transition easier. If there is anything I can do to support your student or family please let me know.
Book of the Month
Uniform Drive
We are collecting clean gently used uniforms. If you have any to donate, please bring them to the front office. We are also asking parents of kindergarten and first grade student to please send your child with a change of clothing in their backpacks daily. Please place the uniform in a gallon-sized zip lock bag with your child's name on it.
