Hello, my name is Carin Chumbley, I am so excited to be joining Eddins Elementary as your new school counselor!
My husband and I moved to Texas last fall to be near our son and his growing family. Upon moving here, I worked in the Plano school district. Prior to making the move to Texas, I worked for the same school district in Northern California for 18 years, splitting my time between two elementary schools.
I come from a family of educators. My mom was an elementary school teacher (she was also my kindergarten teacher), and my dad was the principal at my high school. They were incredible role models and I have carried on their passion for educating and loving kids! I graduated from California State University, Sacramento with my bachelors in psychology and my masters in counseling, with a specialty in school counseling.
I am passionate about empowering kids and helping them grow in social-emotional strength ~ sorting out confusing feelings, learning healthy coping skills/tools, resolving conflict peacefully, developing good character and becoming leaders who desire to help others!
Another great passion of mine is helping families build and maintain happy, healthy relationships. I have been teaching Parenting the Love and Logic Way courses for 13 years.
I feel so blessed to be joining the amazing students, staff and community at Eddins Elementary, and I can’t wait to meet you! Please don't hesitate to contact me at cchumbley@mckinneyisd.net
