Sherri Polk

Hello Raptors! My name is Sherri Polk, and I am excited to join the Randle Elementary Family as a School Counselor. I have had the distinct pleasure of serving students and families as a teacher, counselor, and assistant principal during my career. As a school counselor I am committed to helping all students be successful academically, emotionally, and socially. In my free time away from work, I enjoy spending time with my granddaughter and grand dog, family, traveling, cooking, and relaxing at the beach whenever I can.

Simona Smith

My name is Simona Smith. I am beyond excited to be a part of the Randle Elementary community. As a School Counselor I will be supporting students’ academic, social, and emotional development. I am passionate about creating a safe, supportive environment where all children feel seen, heard, valued, and empowered to grow. I truly love working with kids and helping them build the skills they need to succeed both in and out of the classroom. I also enjoy collaborating closely with families, teachers, and staff to provide the best support possible. Outside of school, I am happily married and a proud parent of two wonderful children who keep me smiling and grounded. I am looking forward to great years ahead.

What is the role of a school counselor?

As a school counselor, I have the opportunity to work with all students, parents, teachers, staff, and the community to ensure that all students can achieve academic and social success. School Counseling services are delivered in four specific ways: 

• School Guidance Curriculum - designing, structuring, and delivering classroom lessons designed to achieve specific competencies in all grades PK-5 (personal/social, academic, career) and driven by the needs of the school population 
• Individual Student Planning - assisting students with goal formation/planning (behavioral, academic, etc.) 
• Responsive Services - meeting immediate student needs (counseling, crisis intervention, consultation, referral, peer mediation, information-providing) 
• System Support - school-wide program planning and implementation. As well as consulting with other professionals, coordination of various supports for students and families. 

Helpful Information

If your child is sick:
Children must be free of fever (less than 100.0 degrees) for 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medications (such as Tylenol or Advil / Motrin) before returning to school. Children must be free of diarrhea for 24 hours before returning to school and need to be eating and drinking without any problem. If a child vomits two or more times within 24 hours, they will need to stay home for at least 24 hours to ensure they are not contagious.

Please call the school nurse if your child has been diagnosed with a contagious condition such as pink eye, strep throat, chicken pox, head lice, impetigo, ringworm, flu or has vomiting and/or diarrhea.

Medication:
Children are not permitted to carry medication including cough drops. ALL MEDICATION must be administered from the clinic. Over the counter medication for less than 6 weeks must be accompanied by a note from the parent authorizing administration of the medication, reason and dose, time and amount. Parents must deliver the medication to the clinic and bring only the necessary amount for school. ALL medication must be in the original container. All prescription medication must be in the original pharmacy container with the child’s name, medication date and dosing instructions. A second bottle from the pharmacy can be requested from the pharmacy by the parent for the school clinic. Medications such as antibiotics for 3 times a day or every 8 hours are to be given at home. Just follow a before breakfast, after school and before bedtime schedule. Click here to download the Medication Administration Form.

*There are no "stock medications" in the clinic such as Tylenol, Motrin, Tums, etc. Medications can only be sent for the student by the parent or guardian.

Food Allergies:
Food allergies can be life threatening. The risk of accidental exposure to foods can be reduced in the school setting if schools work with students, parents, and physicians to minimize risks and provide a safe educational environment for food-allergic students. Provide written medical documentation, instructions, and medications as directed by a physician, using the Food Allergy Action Plan as a guide. Include a photo of the child on the written form.

Immunizations:
Texas Department of Health requires all school age children to be up to date on immunizations. Children are excluded from school until the required immunizations are obtained and a copy is given to the school nurse. Contact school nurse with questions.
