• Counseling & Enrollment

    Hello Eagles!

    Welcome back to campus!  

    We are so excited to be back on campus with all of you! As your counselors, we will call you in throughout the year to check in and see how things are going.  You are NEVER in trouble if you get a pass from your counselor. 

    In addition, you can email us or fill out a slip in the counseling office in order to request a meeting.  If you want to fill out a request to see us, the best times to do so are before school, during lunch, or after school.  Once we receive your email or slip, we will send you a pass to come down and meet with us.  

    Wishing you an awesome start to the new school year!  

     Counselors

    The Alice C. Stelle Middle School Counseling Office provides a confidential environment where students and their counselors can navigate through the many issues which may arise during the middle school years. Counselors provide support and academic guidance to help students succeed in school and in life. The Counseling Office oversees all student records, standardized testing, and scheduling issues, as well as meeting with students individually and in groups. Parents are welcome to contact the counselors with any questions and concerns regarding their child.
