Ways We Help

  • Your child’s counselor can work individually with your child to develop study skills, assist students in learning about their own unique interests, talents and abilities, making good decisions and problem solving any personal, friendship or school-related issues. The counselors present social-emotional curriculum in the classrooms and also meet with students in small groups to work on topics such as grief and loss, conflict resolution, study skills, body image, feelings management.

    In addition, the counselors work with teachers and parents, providing assistance as needed, to develop plans of action that will help with school success.

    The School Social Worker coordinates programs such as mentoring, volunteer reading and peer mediation, as well as assists families with any social-emotional issues they may be facing.

    The School Psychologist addresses the educational and behavioral difficulties of students in coordination with the Instructional Support Team and Committee on Special Education.

    The Counseling Staff at the Middle School can assist with any need a family may be facing. We are professionally trained to help in many ways and welcome your call.
