Hi Poplin Families!
Welcome back to a new school year at Poplin!
This has certainly been my most memorable start to a school year. I hope that you and your children have enjoyed your first few weeks of the 2020/2021 school year.
My name is Jennifer Glahn and I am the school counselor at Poplin Elementary. This is my 14th year working as a school counselor, and my 10th year at Poplin! Wow, time sure does fly! I live in Waxhaw with my husband, Jimmy, and our 2 daughters, McKenna and Ryleigh.
As a school counselor, my job is to work with students, parents/guardians, and school staff to help students be successful in the school setting. I support students in the areas of academic skills, social/emotional skills, and career awareness. This support is provided through whole class lessons, small groups, and individual support.
If I can be of assistance to you or your child(ren) please reach out to me. 
I am looking forward to a great year, and getting to know you all.
Mrs. Glahn
