 Feel free to reach out as needed, and I will be back in touch as soon as I am available. You may reach me by calling the school at (919)894-4226 X3407 or emailing to karladenning@johnston.k12.nc.us.  

 Visit the "Meadow School Counseling" Twitter page (@MeadowCounsel) for resources, updates, and information!

I am happy to say that I am in my 25th year of education!  This is my 20th year as the school counselor at Meadow School!  I also have experience as an elementary and middle school teacher, and a high school counselor.  

 I am so glad that you are part of our Meadow Indian family!

 It is my pleasure to serve you and your family in the following ways: 

As your school counselor, I will be conducting whole group classroom guidance lessons for Grades K-5. We will explore such areas as:  growth mindset, getting along with others/cooperation, friendship/anti-bullying, responsibility, respect, diversity, career exploration, study skills, test-taking strategies, etc.

 Other services include meeting with some students on a one-on-one basis to provide short-term individual counseling.  Students may refer themselves for counseling, or they may be referred by a teacher, administrator, or other staff member. Please go to the bit.ly link above to access the counseling referral form.

I also serve as our school's coordinator for 504 Plans, Homebound Services, Backpack Buddies, Red Ribbon Week, Great Kindness Challenge Week, and Character Recognition. 

Again this school year, I will be collecting Box Tops for Education.  We will earn 10 cent for each Box Top submitted.  Money earned will be used to support the Guidance program in a variety of ways (character recognition prizes, Red Ribbon Week materials, classroom guidance materials, etc.).  Thanks in advance for your support! **We have transitioned to the digital submission of Box Tops.  To get started, download the Box Tops for Education app today!

I am here to help ALL students meet their full potential in the areas of academics, career and college readiness, and social/emotional health.

 Please do not hesitate to contact me with any concerns or questions you may have. I am here to help!

You may call me at 894-4226 or e-mail me at karladenning@johnston.k12.nc.us.
