From Her Desk: 

My name is Leslie Rodriguez. This is my 27th year in education. I have 2 adult children that are graduates of Garland ISD. I received my Bachelor's degree in Business Administration from the University of North Texas. I earned my Master's degree in Education Counseling and Development from Lamar University.

Mission Statement

We are committed to inspiring a community of learners who are respectful and responsible while using a comprehensive counseling program that addresses our student’s academic, personal/social needs as well as career goals.

 

WATCH D.O.G.S

A parent Watch D.O.G. volunteer with his two daughters that attend W.B. Cooper Elementary.

 

WATCH D.O.G.S. is one of the nation’s largest and most respected school-based, family, and community engagement, organizations in the country. In 1998, the very first WATCH D.O.G.S. program launched at Gene George Elementary in Springdale, AR. Today, more than 6,450 schools across the country have launched a WATCH D.O.G.S. program of their own. Each school year hundreds of thousands of fathers and father-figures make a positive impact on millions of children by volunteering millions of hours in their local schools through this amazing one-of-a-kind program. If you are interested in becoming a WATCH D.O.G.S.

There are 2 primary goals of the WATCH D.O.G.S. program:
  1. To provide positive male role models for the students, demonstrating by their presence that education is important.
  2. To provide extra sets of eyes and ears to enhance school security and reduce bullying.

please contact our counselor Leslie Rodriguez to get you started.
