Guidance

As each student enters 5th grade, they are assigned a School Counselor based on their last name. This School Counselor is assigned to the student for all of their time in Middle School. Their role is to identify and address student needs that will ultimately formulate into academic and personal success. Our main goal is to advocate for our students to ensure they have a positive and successful middle school experience. Counselors also are the liaison between students, parents, and administrators. Oftentimes, the counselor will facilitate the needs of the student to identify and minimize barriers that stand in the way of student success.

The counselors offer support in areas including:

• Peer relationships                                                                                                                                                              
• Decisions making skills                                                                                                                                                              
• Communication and conflict resolution
• Fostering self-awareness, acceptance, and diversity
• Teaching time management and organizational skills
• Academic planning
