Ms. Dionne Mitchell
Counselor
Greetings!
My name is
Dionne Mitchell, your Porterdale Elementary Professional School Counselor. I am
entering into my ninth year in education and fifth year at PES; however, I have
over twenty-nine years of experience working with children and adolescents. I
maintain current certification and am always seeking ways to further my
understanding of student’s needs. I am well versed in relationship management
skills, school operations, documentation requirements, test regulations, and
career planning. I am passionate about young people and excel in mentoring
students who are struggling as well as those who excel.
The school
counseling program at PES is based on the American School Counseling
Association Model and the Newton County School District’s standards. The
program includes a variety of services for ALL students, through regular
classroom lessons, small groups, and individual meetings with students.
Providing important social and emotional support, encouraging a positive and nurturing
environment, improving our school climate , and uplifting all students to be
the best RAM they can be are all important goals for the program. Should you
have any questions regarding the counseling program, please contact me at
770.784.2928 *3510 or email me at mitchell.dionne@newton.k12.ga.us
I look
forward to working together this year to ensure the needs of our students are
met!!!!
