Welcome!


WELCOME to the 2019-2020 school year!

I am the School Counselor at the Junior High. I have been here for 12 years and honestly, each year is better than the last! I earned my Bachelor's degree from THE Ohio State University and my Master's degree from the University of Toledo.
I am a Licensed School Counselor (LSC), not a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). School Counselors work within three broad domains: academic, career, and social/emotional development. These domains promote mindsets and behaviors that enhance the learning process and create a culture of college and career readiness for all students.
Here are a few things you may want to contact me about this year!
  • Academic concerns
  • Social concerns
  • Big changes at home
  • Recommendations for outside counseling
  • Available community resources and help
  • Recommendations for outside tutors
  • Anything that may affect your student's learning
  • If you do not know who to talk to about something, you can always start with me
Email is the best way to reach me quickly:
law.jennifer@lexington.k12.oh.us

I am looking forward to seeing everyone, and to a great school year!

Community Resources The holidays are quickly approaching. When we think of the holiday season, we often associate these times with joy and family celebration. Throw in some stress, overeating, and family conflict, and you have the stereotypical holiday celebration! However, the holidays can also be a painful reminder of lost loved ones and the struggles that life brings. Many people struggle with grief, financial hardship, depression, and countless other issues. Special occasions tend to put a spotlight on these struggles. Fortunately, there is help available. Richland County has a number of resources to help people through tough times. First Call of Richland County is a great place to start. I have called many times to get information on food pantries, help with bills, clothing needs, housing questions, etc. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. First Call of Richland County 419-522- INFO (4636) In the middle of a personal or family crisis? Reach ou...

Love Language

Everyone shows love in a different way. This means that everyone feels loved in a different way. Do you know what your love language is? Do you know what your children(s) love language is? If you have never heard of the love languages before, this is a very interesting and enlightening concept. This is a great article detailing the 5 love languages of children and what that means to parents. https://www.parents.com/parenting/better-parenting/advice/love-languages-of-children/ Here is a link to quizzes for each age group or stage of life.  https://www.5lovelanguages.com/quizzes/

Is it Spring yet?   Are you enjoying our long weekend?  I do not know about you, but these few days have been a huge asset for me to be able to get caught up on some of the work that I needed to do.  I hope that you have also made use of these days and were able to get caught up on anything you were behind on and prepared for the weeks ahead.   Obviously, one challenge of the cold days is that it impacted the PARCC testing schedules.  On Tuesday we will begin the Geometry test. We will also make-up any students that missed a portion of the Algebra test.  A reminder for the 8th grade students, your English testing will begin this week also. There will be three sessions: February 27th, March 3rd and March 5th.  Next week the 7th graders will begin their English testing on March 2nd, March 4th and March 6th. These days are really sneaking up on us! Hopefully you are all making every possible effort to be in school for the testing each day, bu...
