How We Support Your Student
Here is how our team can help:
- Counseling: We help students build strong habits through goal setting, time management, study skills, and keeping track of their progress in Powerschool.
- Social-Emotional Support: Middle school comes with big changes! We assist students in creating positive friendships, managing daily stress, working through peer conflicts, and navigate middle school transitions.
- Individual & Small Group Counseling: Through brief, focused sessions, we guide students in developing resilience, strong personal growth, and healthy strategies for emotional regulation.
- Family & Community Resources: We care about your whole family. Our team connects parents with helpful school resources, basic needs support (including clothing, school supplies, and hygiene products), and local community referrals.
Let's Connect!
Partnering with parents and guardians is at the heart of what we do. If you or your student every need support, getting in touch with us is quick and easy:
- Submit a Request Online: Students and family members can submit an electronic counseling request at any time to request a meeting using this link below.
- Visit or Call: Parents are always welcome to stop by the front office or call us directly to discuss any questions, updates, or concerns regarding their child.
