For Parents during the school year:

  • The best way to contact me is via email at christy.teague@jefferson.kyschools.us.
  • Another way to contact me is by completing the Brown School Student Support Request Form.
  • If you have concerns about your child’s academic progress, it’s always best practice to reach out to your child’s teacher(s) first before talking with the School Counselor. 99% of the time, teachers will be able to address your concerns. If you feel that things are not improving after connecting with your child’s teacher(s), please contact me. We will work together (teacher(s), parents, and school counselor)to help.
