Counseling

Jesseca Spencer - Social Worker

Currently, I head up the Student Support Team. This team includes Mr. Gerard and several teachers; we generally meet once a month to plan interventions for students experiencing academic failure. It is designed to help students be successful in general education without special education help. Partnership with parents is vital to the team's success. Students are referred to this team by their teachers and/or parents. If the student is unable to become successful through the SST process, he or she may or may not be referred for a special education evaluation, depending on the situation. I conduct the emotional impairment or otherwise health impairment evaluations; the school psychologist tests for learning disabilities, but I get this process started. I also meet with students per teacher, parent, and/or student request to discuss a wide variety of issues including academics, behavior modification, and mental health concerns. Feel free to give me a call 821-1740 or email me jspencer@holton.k12.mi.us with any questions or concerns.
