Greetings Oak Grove Elementary School!

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.

Do You Want to MOVE?

Why not volunteer for Walking Wednesday! 

A "Walking Wednesday Coordinator" ensures volunteers are in place each Wednesday morning to count students and distribute prizes (purchased by the coordinator) for the popular "Golden Shoe" competition. It’s a fun way to connect with the school community, meet other parents, and engage with the kids!
