Thera Kinsler, School Counselor

Dear Parents/Guardians:

My goal is to advocate for students and assist students to become successful.  Below are the following ways to communicate with me:

1. Email – thera.kinsler@richlandone.org where you can ask questions or communicate any concerns you may have. As a school counselor, I will do my best to refer you to any resources to assist you and your family.
2. I will provide indirect student services, consultation, and collaboration with families via email and phone contact (as needed).
