Student Services Staff Updates

Career Center

Our new Career Center Specialist is Ms. Mollis Cottingham.  Most recently, Ms. Cottingham was the Transcript Assistant in Student Services.  She is excited to get to know even more students, and has been hard at work already. All students are invited to come by the Career Center to contribute to her bulletin board with one word that describes them.  Any student who participates will be entered into a drawing for a prize!  She is available Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m.-3:30 p.m. and available for individual appointments with parents/guardians.  Please follow the Career Center on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/Career-Center-Edison-High-School-739043236472765/.  Ms. Cottingham can be reached at mlcottingham@fcps.edu or 703-924-8028.

 

Transcripts

With Ms. Cottingham’s move into the Career Center, we are pleased to welcome back Ms. Betty Glaze into the Transcript Assistant position.  Ms. Glaze is a familiar face at Edison, having previously worked in Student Services, the main office, and the library.  She will be back with us starting on January 7.  She can be reached after that date regarding transcript requests at bhglaze@fcps.edu or 703-924-8006.

 

ESOL Counselor

We also welcome a new counselor to work with all of our ESOL students, Ms. Maribel Forget.  Ms. Forget is joining us most recently from working as a counselor in Florida.  She is originally from California and was not only the first one in her family to get a master’s degree, but the first to finish middle school!  She is a former ESOL student herself, speaking Spanish until 2nd grade.  She will be working with all of our ESOL students individually, in the classrooms, and running groups.  She can be reached at mforget@fcps.edu or 703-924-8222.
