My name is Jody Foreman and I have been at Wheeler since 1990. I spent 13 years as a
classroom teacher working mostly with 4th and 5th graders. For 13 years now, I have
worked as the school guidance counselor. Some of my many duties include screening
and processing special education referrals. I also act as Wheelers special education
chairperson overseeing meetings and individual education plans. It is my honor to
provide classroom guidance throughout the school year to all classrooms. Some topics
covered include safety, bullying, responsibility, respect, empathy, and goal setting.
From time to time, I also organize and facilitate small focused guidance groups. These
topics have included, making friends, managing our feelings, and anxiety. I have many
students who either see me weekly for individual counseling or are set up with me for
check in meetings. In the coming weeks, I am organizing and planning the Advance
Program Placement test for 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders. This lasts over two weeks in
October and is open to those parents interested in this testing feedback. There are
many other assorted opportunities I have to assist students, teachers, and parents in
partnering and insuring that each students educational, social, and emotional needs
are being met. Feel free to reach me by email (jody.foreman@jefferson.kyschools.us)
or phone (502-485-8349).
