Introducing Mrs. Miscavage
My name is Jane Miscavage and I will be Kristin Bennett’s school counseling substitute while she is on maternity leave. I career switched into school counseling after seeing how my own daughters’ counselors supported their learning and growth. In my previous career I was a communications consultant, and I was very involved in the PTA at both local and regional levels. I am currently working at Summit and Ixonia Elementary Schools and am excited to come to Park Lawn Elementary.
I look forward to working with your students!
