Counseling
Meet Ms. Wiebersch, proud Cardinal school counselor
Hello, my name is Rebekah Wiebersch or Ms. W as the students say. I am very happy to be the school counselor at Caldwell Elementary. We are off to a great start for the 2026-27 school year and I’m looking forward to the fun in learning waiting for us.
About me; I have been in education for 13 years and am blessed to do the job I love. I received my Bachelors’ in Psychology from UTD and my Masters’ in Professional School Counseling from Angelo State University. I taught 3rd grade and 6th grade reading and social studies. I have been a school counselor for the past three years.
As your counselor, I'm dedicated to fulfilling your students' social and emotional needs. I have exciting counseling lessons that I will teach students throughout the year. I will meet with students individually and in counseling groups.
Feel free to contact me with any questions that you have about the counseling program. I look forward to working with you and your child.
Counselor mission statement
My mission is to advocate for all learners by creating a nurturing and safe environment. I collaborate with school personnel, families, and the community to provide a comprehensive school counseling program that supports the academic, career, and social emotional development of our students in order for them to become responsible and productive citizens for the 21st century.
Counselor vision statement
My vision is for every student to be empowered with the knowledge and skills necessary to achieve high levels of academic success. They should maintain personal wellness and positive social relationships. This vision includes exploring college, career, and military readiness opportunities.
What can my counselor do for me?
Counselors will help you by:
- reviewing your choice of subject during the registration period (February - April)
- providing study skills and academic information
- providing career and college information
- helping in teacher/student relationships
- helping cope with family issues
- listening to concerns about friends, etc.
- giving you information about life and decision-making skills
- referring you to people or places outside of school for help if necessary
- being your advocate – counselors are here for you!
Counselors for each campus are certified by the state of Texas in School Counseling, have a Master’s Degree, and previous teaching experience. Each elementary school has a guidance counselor to help ensure that adequate support for helping students to succeed and meet their goals is available.
Calling all parents to action
We truly care about our Caldwell Cardinals and want them as safe and happy as possible. We care not only about their academic success, we also want them to be successful as wonderful and compassionate human beings. In order to do that, we need to work together as a giant family and make sure all of their needs are being taken care of. Part of being successful at life is being kind and tolerant of other people. If you know of any kind of bullying taking place, please let me know. Caldwell and all of Garland ISD is committed to being bully free. Please take a look at our district's stance on bullying.
