Welcome to the Middle School Counseling Department
NAMS School Counselors Believe:
All students have the right to be respected, be treated with dignity and have access to a comprehensive school counseling program that advocates for and affirms all students from diverse populations.
All students have the right to understand the full magnitude and meaning of his/her educational choices and how those choices will impact future opportunities.
All students have the right to privacy and thereby the right to expect the counselor-student relationship to comply with all laws, policies, and ethical standards pertaining to confidentiality in the school setting.
What Do School Counselors Do?
School counselors work to deliver a comprehensive and developmentally appropriate program that addresses the social, emotional, career and academic needs of every student.
School counselors deliver services to support students success in three ways:
Guidance Curriculum
Individual Student Planning
Responsive Services
Statement of Confidentiality
To respect the rights and relationships of students, information shared with the counselor will remain confidential with the exception of student safety.
