As the Bear Branch School Counselor, I have the privilege of working with all of our amazing students!  Humble ISD's Personalized Counseling approach allows me to meet with every Bear Branch student one-on-one during this school year.  In these meetings, students will explore their strengths, goals and aspirations.  

I also implement the Texas Model for Comprehensive School Counseling Programs.  This model delivers counseling services in the following areas:  

Any student can request to meet with me or they can be referred by a teacher, administrator, or parent.  I encourage you to reach out if you have concerns regarding your child.  Please click the link below and fill out the Parent Referral Form to express your concerns or refer your student for school counseling services.

**Confidentiality** Please note that all information discussed is confidential between me and your child, unless they are planning on hurting themselves, hurting someone else or someone is hurting them.

Please feel free to call me, or stop in so that we can meet face to face. I can be reached by julianna.wimberly@humbleisd.net or by phone at (281) 641-1607.

Testing for Credit by Examination in Humble ISD occurs 4 times per year.  If you are interested in grade level acceleration for your child, please complete the Credit by Examination Registration Form and submit it to the school counselor.  CBE test results are used to indicate if a student is prepared to skip the grade level they are anticipating entering the following year.  Tests may not be taken to skip the student's current grade level.  If you plan to request that your child be considered for acceleration, please be mindful of the registration deadlines listed below. 

To register your child for a CBE test please complete the Credit by Exam for Acceleration 2024-2025 Registration Form
