I’m Colleen Schell and I’ve been a counselor at Rome Corners since 2001.  Before that I taught at Oregon High School for 15 years. It is amazing to me how quickly time flies. Many of the students I see at RCI today are children of students I knew as a teacher at OHS. I love working with this age group, facilitating groups, meeting with kids individually, consulting with parents and teaching classroom guidance. In my free time I like being physically active, spending time with my family, and gardening.  Occasionally I read a book :)

Please let me know if you have concerns or questions about your child socially, emotionally or academically. I look forward to our partnership as we provide opportunities for our children’s’ continued success.

My name is Holly Kortemeier, and I am a School Counselor at Rome Corners Intermediate! I have been an educator for more than three years and am excited to get to know the students, staff, and families in the Oregon School District. When not at work, I enjoy spending time with my dog Hooper, cheering on the Packers, and exploring Madison! Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions or concerns you may have.

My name is Caitlin Petersen and I am excited to be the school social worker at Brooklyn Elementary and Rome Corners Intermediate! Before joining the Oregon School District in 2021, I served as a school social worker for 5 years in Northern WI. I look forward to getting to know the staff, students, and communities of families in the coming school year. If I can be of assistance to you or your family, please do not hesitate to contact me! 

I am the district’s Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Coach for PreK-6th grade. Before entering this role, I served as a special education teacher for over 20 years in diversified settings. The focus of the SEL Coach is increasing the internal capacity of OSD educators to meet the academic and social/emotional needs of our learners through: partnering with OSD educators in creating personalized, responsive classroom and school environments, as well as facilitating multiple types of professional learning opportunities in alignment with our instructional vision, data-determined needs, and OSD values.
