I work collaboratively with staff and parents to help prepare students for meaningful participation in society. Safety is a top priority at Waterville School and we work diligently to provide a safe and caring environment to encourage academic, social, and emotional growth of students. I am responsible for implementing district and building policies as well communicating district expectations to staff and parents. As the instructional leader, I ensure the state academic content standards are implemented daily in all classrooms. Coordination of professional development activities, in conjunction with the building School Improvement Team, takes place on an on-going basis to promote professionalism and collegial discourse. Creating the building schedule, evaluating staff, and coordinating district and state tests for the building occurs during the school year.

Jamie Gutierrez, Counselor
419-878-2436 - jgutierrez@anthonywayneschools.org
Hello! My name is Jamie Gutierrez and I am the school counselor at Waterville Primary School. This is my ninth year at Waterville and my eleventh year as a school counselor. I love working with the boys and girls at Waterville. They are a very special group of young people! Some of the things I work with students on include but are not limited to:
*Classroom Guidance lessons- I conduct lessons with each of the classrooms throughout the year to talk about issues such as respect, cooperation, peer pressure, etc.... depending on the age of your child.
*Individual Counseling- I will work with students one on one as needed. This happens if your child requests to see me, if you contact me, or if a teacher or staff member sees a need.
*Small Groups- Small groups will be conducted throughout the school year at each grade level. Please watch for group topics in the Friday Flyer and contact me if you are interested in your child participating.
One of the highlights of our counseling program is Sara, our school therapy dog. We received Sara in October 2008 and she now works at our school daily. She helps students not only in therapy situations, but also in classrooms throughout the building where children read to her. Sara was trained through Assistance Dogs of America, Inc. as a working therapy dog. This non profit organization trains and provides service and therapy dogs to individuals, schools, and other facilities such as nursing homes and prisons. Sara was trained and provided to us at no cost. Please let me know if you have any questions related to Sara.
