Welcome to
Mary, Queen of Peace
About Me:
I am Stephanie Strohmeyer,
the School Counselor. I feel very
fortunate to say this my 4th year here. I have been married to my husband for 10
years and we have 3 beautiful children.
My son is
7 
and a 2nd grader at MQP.
My
daughter is 4.
Our
newest addition is 6 months old. 
What I Do:
Elementary
school counselors observe younger children during classroom and play activities
and confer with their teachers and parents to evaluate the children’s
strengths, problems, or special needs. In conjunction with teachers and
administrators, they make sure that the curriculum addresses both the academic
and the emotional development needs of students. Elementary school counselors
do less vocational and academic counseling than do secondary school counselors.
School
counselors at all levels help students to understand and deal with social,
behavioral, and personal problems. These counselors emphasize preventive and
developmental counseling to provide students with the life skills needed to
deal with problems before they occur and to enhance student’s personal, social,
and academic growth. Counselors provide special services, including alcohol and
drug prevention programs and conflict resolution classes. They also try to
identify abuse and other family problems that can affect a student’s
development. Counselors interact with students individually, in small groups,
or with entire classes. They consult and collaborate with parents, teachers,
school administrators, school psychologists, medical professionals, and social
workers in order to develop and implement strategies to help students be
successful in the education system.
My Schedule:
I work on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 7:30-3:00. If you need to contact me on Tuesday or
Thursday, please leave a message with the office. 674-2466. I check my messages daily. You can also contact me via e-mail: stefstroh@charter.net.
Speech and/or Academic Concerns:
If you are concerned with your child’s speech or academic progress, I
can schedule an appointment with the St. Tammany Parish School Board Assessment
Team. There is no cost for this
assessment. If you prefer a private
agency, contact me and I will provide referrals. The web site for the St.
Tammany Parish School Board is: www.stpsb.org.
Gifted Testing:
St. Tammany
Parish School System offers additional Enrichment Services (KEEP) for those who
qualify for Gifted. If you would like
more information, or if you feel your child may qualify for the gifted program,
please contact me.
Outside Counseling:
If you feel your child is in need of outside
counseling, please feel free to contact me about referrals. If you seek counseling on your own, please
let us know if there is an issue we need to know about. Outside situations can affect your child at
school and we want to be aware so we can assist in any way possible. Please know the situation will be handled
with the utmost respect and confidentiality.
Class Schedule:
I am fortunate to teach Classroom Guidance to the
classes at MQP. Some of the topics we
discuss are respect, honesty, study skills, virtues, friendship,
social and school issues. The class
times for Classroom Guidance will be:
7A: 10:20 Monday
7B: 12:50 Monday
6A: 2:00 Wednesday
6B: 10:00 Wednesday
