HI,
My Name is Pamela Ogletree and I am your new counselor at Nitsch Elementary. This is actually my 14th year as an elementary school counselor. I have worked at two other schools as a counselor in the Klein school district but I am very excited to be returning to Nitsch as I was a former counselor here from 2000- 2005.
Please know that it is my desire to help each one of the children at Nitsch feel excited about school. I also want to work with you to assist our children to become successful aspiring students. I enjoy working to establish healthy and respectful relationships with our students, parents and staff so that we can create a positive atmosphere for everyone.
Please know that I am available to meet with your or your child should there be any concerns. I am looking forward to an exciting year ahead.
I als want to thank you for helping Nitsch become a " Texas Recognized School".

10 ways to help your child do well in school:
1. Show you care. Your child needs hugs and words of support. Ask your child about school every day.

2. Read, read, read. Read with your child or have him or her read each day. Make it fun-talk about what you’ve read.

3. Make home a place for learning. Help your child practice reading, writing, math and science skills. Stimulate your child’s creativity.

4. Promote healthy eating habits. Make sure your child gets plenty of sleep and exercise and eats balanced meals. Schedule regular checkups.

5. Be a role model. Your child learns from you. Be positive about education and show you enjoy learning.

6. Encourage independence. Allow your child to make mistakes and learn to accept their consequences. Give your child responsibilities, such as household chores.

7. Create a study routine. Set a time and quiet place for your child to work every day. Go over homework daily together.

8. Get involved. Meet with your child’s teacher, attend school events and help out at school if you can.

9. Build success. Help raise your child’s self-esteem by setting reachable goals and praising your child’s efforts, not just results.

10. Make school important. Insist on good attendance and punctuality.
