It is hard to believe that another school year is well underway! I am excited to start the 2024-2025 school year as your school counselor! I will be working with students in grades Pre-K through 5. 

There are several programs and services that I will implement to assist the students in their adjustment to the school environment. Some of these programs and services include classroom guidance, small group counseling, and individual counseling. More information regarding some of these services will be provided soon. I am also excited to work on different projects such as Red Ribbon Week, Career Day, Morning Muffins with Mentors, etc.

In addition, I plan to provide a classroom guidance lesson to orient students to my role as the school counselor in the school and to the counseling services that are available to them.

I look forward to working with all of you and your children so that we may have a successful school year. If there is any way that I may support you or provide assistance, please do not hesitate to send me an email or call the counseling office. 

You may reach me at tracey_roberts@dekalbschoolsga.org or 678-874-7465. 

Join us for the annual Viking 5K! All are invited to participate in support of the Lakeside Foundation, which provides scholarships, facility improvements, classroom grants, professional development and more to enhance the Lakeside community.

We are also looking for sponsors for our fun community event! Please email Ashley Bryant for more information. 

Join us on Saturdays from 11-12:30 at Lakeside High School! Long time coach, Fred Perivier, and the State Champion Lakeside Highschool Team will be helping to teach the next generation. Boys and girls from 2nd to 5th grade are invited. Don't forget your water bottle and sneakers!
