Middle School Counseling Program Overview

Our Middle School Counselors provide a proactive and collaborative program that promotes the overall well-being of each student, ensuring that they learn in a safe, healthy and supportive environment. Students are assigned alphabetically between the three Counselors for the duration of their Middle School years; however all the Counselors are available for consultation for personal or academic concerns.

The following services are provided by our Counselors:

• Welcome of new students and their families to ISM, by facilitating the orientation programs which include academic scheduling and other transition concerns
• Provide confidential personal and small-group counseling services
• Offer parent workshops throughout the year which address various issues that relate to adolescent students
• Collaborate with teachers, parents, administrators and other educators to discuss, design and implement specific interventions based on students individual needs
• Represent student's well-being in school-wide program planning in collaboration with the Middle School Administration
• Work with Grade Level Leaders to provide specific guidance lessons or initiatives through the Homebase program
• Encourage Leadership development through programs such as Student Council and Student Ambassadors
• Facilitate the High School Tutoring program, that offers academic and mentorship support for our students by High School volunteers
