Welcome to the 2022-2023 school year!

My name is Cindy Minick and I am the school counselor for grades 1, 3, and 5.  I have been at Sander's Elementary in Cobb County for 19 years.  Prior to my career shift to counseling, I spent 19 years in special education as a teacher & academic coach.  I am married and we have an amazing 26 year old daughter and a wonderful future son-in-law.  I also have three "fur babies." 

Throughout the year, I will teach classroom lessons inclusively to first, third & fifth graders.  I will touch multiple subjects that will help your child develop academically as well as grow  social-emotional  skills & career awareness.  

I will meet with students individually and in small groups to address more specific issues as needed.  Referrals can be made by students, parents, and teachers. The counselor suite has a mailbox where students can place their individual counselor slips.  Parents are welcome to contact me with questions and concerns regarding their child's academic and personal development.

I  can also help with meeting student's needs by helping to provide clothing, school supplies and food donations from local partners.  Other responsibilities I hold as a counselor include assisting with  Response to Intervention (RTI) & 504's, and participating as a member of the leadership, local CARE and PBIS teams.  

If you have questions or concerns regarding your child's development here at Sander's Elementary, please feel free to contact me.  My phone number is 770-819-2568 ext. 039 and my email address is cynthia.minick@cobbk12.org.
