Counseling

Mission: The counselors at Roosevelt Middle School strive to prepare all students for future success. We support a collaborative learning environment in and through the arts by creating opportunities for students to grow academically, socially, emotionally, and in planning for the future.

School counselors are professional educators with a mental health perspective to understand and respond to the challenges presented by today’s diverse student population. Counselors’ tasks fit into four primary categories:

• Collaborating with the school staff to promote a safe and supportive learning environment.
• Developing a school guidance curriculum which consists of providing students with information about academic, social and career related topics through lessons in Advisory, small groups or individual counseling.
• Working with students and families to establish and meet personal and academic goals.
• Providing responsive services to students, families and staff based on current or future needs.
