Banks Bulletin
February 2018
My name is Conswalia Chambers-Banks and I am the new counselor. I primarily work with students last names beginning with K - Z (6 - 8). I am very excited to be at Zebulon Gifted and Talented Magnet Elementary School. I know I have some very big shoes to fill with replacing Mrs. Purvis, but I will work very hard to try. I know I haven't had the chance to meet all of you, but I am looking forward to working with each of you.
When referring students to speak with me, I ask that you complete my referral form. Please click the title to access the referral form. As requested in the instructions, please do not include detailed personal student information on the form. If you are more comfortable with paper, please let me know.
While I have been available this week, I may not always be accessible immediately.
Student Lunches
In order to get to know the students here, I will be allowing students to have lunch with me.
If they are scheduled to have lunch, they will have a pass from me. If they do not have a pass, please do not allow them to come.
Student lunches will begin next week (week of February 26, 2018).
Classroom Visits
Over the next few weeks, I will be coming to visit some of your classes. The purpose of these visits is to complete students observations. I'll try to arrive before the students and wait until the class is over to leave (I don't want to add too much distraction).
When I observe, I do not inform students beforehand, as I want to get an accurate picture of them in their classroom settings.
