SMALL GROUPS: We have various small groups that we run based on student need. Teachers and parents help us decide who needs to be in what group. We typically meet one day a week for 6-8 weeks for 45 minutes. INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING: We can see you by yourself when you need to talk to someone about something that might bothering you. You can sign up to see us by using our counseling forms in the front office. Teachers and/or parents might refer you to us as well. ACADEMIC PLANNING: We meet individually with students to help plan for high school, help students problem solve if they are struggling academically, and help students plan for the future!

21. FRIENDS Students may or may not be placed in a classes with any of their current friends from their elementary school. This is a huge part of change from elementary school to middle.

Please do not expect students to be moved because that rarely ever happens, so we encourage them to make the best of it! They won t regret it!
