The life of a middle school student (and parent/guardian) can be fast-paced and demanding. Between soccer games, dance classes, tutoring and service work it can be easy to find yourself in need of additional resources. Throughout the year the School Counseling department will post articles, web links and other helpful topics that may assist your family. Below are popular links families have used to assist with academic planning, student safety and career exploration.
