A huge thank you to parents for extra patience in the carpool lane! It will get much faster over the next week as everyone learns the procedure.

Counselor's Corner
Hello! My name is Shamone Wilson and I am thrilled to be the School Counselor here at Beaty Early Childhood School. This is my 10th year in education and my second year here at Beaty ECS. I am really excited to be a part of the Beaty family and having the opportunity to help provide a positive start in your child’s education. If you have any concerns about your child and would like to talk to me, you can contact me by email shamone.wilson@pisd.edu or by calling 469-752-4215. If there is anything I can do to help your child be successful, please let me know. We are so happy you are here!
What Can My School Counselor Do For Me?
As the Beaty Pre-K Counselor, I want to help you and your child have a positive early childhood experience. My role is an important part of the social and emotional development of all students. Through classroom counselor lessons, I help students to develop good character, make good choices and be safe. My focus is always on developing a warm, caring and accepting relationship with students and their families. Students who are having difficulties at home or school may be referred for assistance by parents or the classroom teacher. Please let me know if you have a concern or need assistance.
Social and Emotional Learning Development
During the school year we will focus on social and emotional learning and development through counseling guidance lessons. We will focus on skills such as recognizing and understanding feelings, managing emotions appropriately and how to be a good friend.
Please check out Beaty’s weekly S’more newsletter for more information about upcoming counselor guidance lessons, counselor activities and parent programs
Library News
