I'm Mrs. Hessler and I am so happy to be your school counselor.  I have been a Counselor here at Bayless for many years, and it is my honor to serve the students, parents, and community of Bayless.  I received my Bachelor Degree in Psychology from St. Louis University and my Masters Degree in Counseling and Family Therapy, also from St. Louis University.  I am married and have three children.

I’m Mrs. Schreffler, and I’m excited to be part of the counseling department this year. I have been a Junior Broncho for over ten years, and I am thrilled to join the counseling department at the Junior High.  I attended McKendree College in Lebanon, IL where I earned my Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education. In addition, I received my Masters Degree in School Counseling from Lindenwood University. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two sons.

We have included a brief list of resources, but we have an extensive list in our office and together we can find something that best fits the needs of your child/children and family.    Please feel free to contact us directly for any questions or concerns that you may have about your children or family.
