Student Support

Intervention and GT Coordinator
Ms. Carrie
CarrieI will be rejoining Juniper School for the 2021/2022 school year as a reading and math interventionist supporting K-5 learners in a small group setting. I will also be helping create Juniper's new school library, supporting our advanced learners, and of course, returning as our school postmaster. I have taught in Durango for over ten years since graduating from Fort Lewis College with a degree in Elementary Education. Outside of school, and now living in Durango for over ten years I enjoy all outdoor things but especially playing tennis, skiing, and kayaking the Animas.  
 
 
 
 
 
Counselor
Ms. Kaitlyn
Kaitlyn

Hello, my name is Ms. Kaitlyn! This is my second year serving as the K-5 School Counselor at TJS. A little bit about me, I have been living in Durango for 5 years and in the San Juans for 8. I have a diverse professional background in the outdoor industry, education and mental health. I completed my Masters in Counseling through Adams State University in 2020 with a focus in Elementary School Counseling. I am currently in my LPCC training in order to work towards becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor. 

The role of the school counselor is a special one within the school building. I will be teaching social-emotional lessons each week using Mind Up, Sanford Harmony and the Zones of Regulation. I also facilitate restorative justice circles and am on the PBIS committee.  I am here to bridge the connection between our staff, families and students. I will be forming small student groups throughout the year based on common struggles, academic skill practice and social skills.
