Mission Statement of the Loftis Middle School Counseling Department
The mission of the Loftis Middle School counseling department is to provide resources and support to each student. Students are encouraged to achieve their highest potential through academic success, career exploration opportunities, and social and emotional growth.
What Does a Middle School Counselor Do?
The middle school counseling and guidance program provides support to students in transition from childhood to adolescence. School counselors help students to understand themselves, to make the best of their abilities, to know the educational and career opportunities available to them, and to help them make plans and decisions for their future. I will meet with students individually and in small and large groups. I will also meet with teachers and parents to discuss achievement or any issue related to the student’s school experiences.
Please feel free to contact me if there are any questions or concerns
regarding the academic, social, or emotional development of your student!!
