When you need to talk to someone, your school counselor is a great place to start!
Your NWMS Counselors are here to help you with academic achievement, personal/social development, and career exploration. School counselors work with teachers, principals, and other school staff to help you become successful, responsible students. Counselors also partner with parents and the community to help meet student needs.
Counselors are available to listen and help problem-solve, as well as to provide encouragement and support.
Counselors can also meet with students for longer meetings if they need support or want to talk. To schedule an appointment, you can email, visit during lunch, or ask your teacher if you may see your counselor during class with a pass. Meeting request slips are located by the counselor’s door.
