Mrs. Taylor's Counseling Corner

Comanche Springs Elementary

Meet Mrs. Taylor

Hello, my name is Kelly Taylor. I am delighted to be your child's professional school counselor at Comanche Springs Elementary. The 2024-2025 school year will be my seventh full year as the Comanche Springs counselor. This year marks my twenty-ninth year in education and my sixteenth year at Eagle Mountain Saginaw Independent School District. I received my Master’s in Education from Lamar University and my teaching degree in Education with a minor in Reading from Texas Wesleyan University. Formerly, I was a 5th/4th-grade ELAR (English/Language Arts) teacher at Elkins Elementary. Previously, I taught for thirteen years in the Crowley Independent School District (Grades 2nd, 3rd, and 6th) and served as the department head for English/Language Arts and Social Studies. I have two beautiful children, a wonderful and supportive husband, and a fur baby named Rocco. My daughter is a graduate of The University of North Texas with a degree in Business Marketing and is a tattoo artist. My son has just completed his first year of University Honors at The University of Texas in Austin, Hook 'Em! I enjoy traveling to Europe, the beach, shopping, walking Rocco, and trying new restaurants. I am looking forward to another great year at Comanche. Go, SPURS!!

Counselor Connection

Comanche Springs Elementary School Eagle Mountain-Saginaw ISD What influenced you to become a school counselor? I was influenced to become a school counselor when trauma and tragedy struck my family during the summer of 2008. My sister and her friend lost their lives in a capital murder case.

AUGUST & SEPTEMBER NEWSLETTER

Welcome back, Spurs! Soon, I will be out visiting classrooms and conducting guidance lessons. Our first lesson will be “Meet the Counselor” so that students will know how I can help them be successful in and out of the classroom. We will kick off Start with Hello the week of September 16-20, 2024. Please be on the lookout for more information. Spur Ambassador applications will be sent home soon for our 5th graders. We will be looking for 10-14 student leaders that are interested in serving our community.

Some parents have requested information on ways to assist their child at home, so I have included a few ways to help your child succeed in school. 1). Ask your child/ren about school and encourage them to talk about their day. 2). Read with your child/ren EVERY night. 3). Help your child/ren with his/her homework EVERY night. 4). Make sure your child/ren gets plenty of sleep and is ready for school each day. 5). Stay involved in your child’s studies and contact your child’s teacher with any questions or concerns. 6). Teach your child/ren to be responsible for their actions and their schoolwork. 7). Limit electronic use.
