What can your counselors do for you?

The guidance counselors at Palm Springs Middle School are here to help parents and students enjoy a successful school year.   We will help students with their academic concerns (schedule changes, advanced classes, electives, organization, careers, study skills,  tutoring, etc…) and social/emotional concerns (bullying, problem-solving, making decisions, helping you communicate more effectively, and overcoming fears). 

 

How can you speak to a counselor?

 A student may request to see his/her counselor by asking his/her teacher for a pass to the guidance office.   If the counselor is not available, the student should complete a Counselor Request Form and the counselor will call them to the office as soon as they are available.  The student may also email the counselor with a question or concern.  If a student has an emergency, he/she will always be able to see a counselor.

 A parent may also request to speak to their child’s counselor by contacting the school.  The counselor will also assist parents with meeting an individual teacher or the team of teachers on their child’s schedule.  Parents should work with the school counselor to identify resources and find solutions to problems.
