Welcome Flyer Families! I am excited to introduce myself as the school counselor for Pleasant Grove Elementary School.
I began my career with a Bachelor's degree in mathematics, secondary education. I worked as a high school math teacher at Leesville Road High School before earning my Master's degree in School Counseling (K-12). Before moving to Pleasant Grove, I was a school counselor at Leesville Elementary School. If you know me from the Leesville community, you know me as Ms. Butler. However, I am recently married and am now Mrs. Curley. I am looking forward to meeting and building relationships with the new staff, students, and parents at Pleasant Grove. Please feel free to stop by my office, call (919-694-8770), or send an email ([email protected]). I would love to get to know you and your student! |
Classroom LessonsClassroom Lessons help to provide all students with the knowledge, attitudes and skills appropriate for their developmental level. The school counseling core curriculum is delivered to grades K-5.

Small GroupsSmall Groups are offered to students based on individual student, school and community needs, which are assessed through survey data, a parent/teacher referral or other relevant data. School counselors prioritize group offerings based on school data.
Small groups typically include 4-5 students and are short-term (5-6 sessions). Groups cover possible topics, such as: study skills, friendship, anxiety/test anxiety, social skills, self-esteem, book clubs, managing feelings, homework, attendance, divorce, and grief. Small groups will include parental consent and student agreement for participation. |
Individual SessionsThe student and counselor work together to establish an individual goal related to the student's initial concern. While confidentiality is an inherent part of the counseling relationship, children are encouraged to share with parents.
Parents and teachers can make referrals by phone, email, or appointment. Students can also stop by or write a note. Children are generally seen no more than 4-6 individual sessions. School counselors can support family connections with available community resources, as needed. **Note regarding Confidentiality** Wake County email is publicly owned and is not confidential. Information will be kept confidential unless disclosure is required to prevent clear and imminent danger to the student or others, or when legal requirements (court order) demand that confidentiality be revealed. |
