Mrs. Lauren Waterman

I am one of the school counselors at Falkener IB PYP Elementary School.  As your child’s school counselor, I am concerned about their emotional well-being, academic progress, and personal and social development.  

I believe that...

•  a child's emotional well-being is a priority that lays the foundation for academic, personal and social success.

•  all children have dignity and worth and should be treated with respect.

•  children thrive in environments in which they feel safe and respected.

•  every child is unique and has personal strengths that can help them to achieve their potential.

•  every child should have access to their school counselor.

•  school counselors should work collaboratively with parents, staff and the community to advocate for children.

I have a master’s degree (MS) and specialist in education degree (EdS) in Counseling and Educational Development, specializing in school counseling, from The University of North Carolina at Greensboro.  I live in Greensboro with my husband, two boys and a dog.  I enjoy music, cooking and spending time with family and friends.
