Guidance Activities
In addition to supporting the academic, personal and social needs of our students, the guidance department organizes several activities throughout the school year. Here are some of the things you can look forward to this year:

Transition
Middle school counselors play a crucial role in the transition of elementary students to the middle school and of middle school students to the high school. These transition activities include visits to elementary schools, sixth grade tour day, and grade 6 parent night. The transition from 8th grade includes a visit from the high school to discuss the course selection process, and a grade 8 parent meeting.

Red Ribbon Day Events:
Red Ribbon Day promotes a drug, alcohol and violence free safe zone for kids. Activities such as an assembly, with Camfel Productions, and a door decorating contest for students. Red ribbon stickers are distributed at lunch, week long dress-up day to support drug awareness slogans.

Peer Mediation:
Peer Mediators are trained to help students resolve peer conflicts. Mediators are trained both at the beginning of their seventh grade year and the beginning of 8th grade. Students can be referred for mediation by a teacher, administrator, counselor or they can refer themselves.

Please contact your guidance counselor if you have questions.
