Counseling Office

Students are assigned to counselors alphabetically by their last name. Counselors are available Monday through Friday 8am-3pm as well as during conferences. Students may sign up to see their counselor in the counseling office or through the Middle School Central Counseling Schoology Page. Parents, please call or email if you need to speak with your student's counselor. Please be aware that our daily schedule varies due to the needs of our students which cannot always be predicted.
