Counseling

• Parent Support: Please reach out to us if you have any concerns about your son or daughter. We are here to help your child have a successful experience in middle school. 

• Helpful parenting information: Explore various articles and other pertinent information for you and your student.

As school counselors we work with the parents and guardians through individual consultation, and together with the students' teachers. Periodically we offer parent information sessions. Our goal is to assist parents and guardians to:

• Understand their child’s academic progress

• Learn strategies to help motivate their child

• Develop realistic goals for their child

• Become actively involved in their child’s education

• Take advantage of school resources and programs

The counselors are an integral part of the total school program and can help the school staff by:

• Providing resources for teaching staff

• Teaching classroom guidance lessons

• Reviewing school records with teachers and parent/guardians

• Serving on teams to assist the individual needs of specific students

• Planning character education activities for advisory groups

• Conferencing with parents and guardians

• Coordinating career units along with Eighth Grade Career Day

• Promoting a positive school environment

• Coordinating various building programs (Presidential Academic Award Ceremony, 5th Gr Orientation and Parent Night)
