We will be utilizing our grade level google classrooms to push out counseling related information, lessons, as well as tips and tools for middle school life throughout the school year.  As always, you can email us with and we are also available to meet with you virtually during the school day.  Send us a quick email (just as you used to come to the office and fill out an appointment request form) and we will then reach out to you with a google meet or zoom meeting code.
