Welcome to Counselor's Corner

  • Hi!!! My name is Angela Ballew and I am the Counselor for James Street Elementary School.  I am excited about getting to know or welcome back each of your little ones!  If you ever need to contact me, please call me at 936-653-1147 or email me at aballew@cocisd.org.

     This year at JSE, we are focusing more on Social Emotional Learning.  To do this, we will be starting a program called Character Strong.  Each month a new character trait will be introduced and taught in the classroom, along with a newsletter that will be sent home.
