NEED HELP?  JUST ASK!

GUIDANCE

Welcome to Maple Intermediate School.  I am most fortunate to work in a School District that places high value on educating the whole child with emphasis on all facets of a student’s education.  My role as Guidance Counselor centers on the emotional and academic well-being of the students entrusted to my care.

I am committed to the importance of parental/guardian involvement in the education of their child.  It is of utmost importance, that we develop a partnership with open lines of communication along with early intervention should a concern arise.  I value early detection and intervention. The positive results that come from seeking the right process and the necessary assistance to allow your child to embrace his/her challenge with victory is beyond words. 

My desire is to serve you and your child to the best of my ability.  Together we can and will make a positive difference in the life of your child!!  Below you will find a list of counseling services available to you and your child.

Counseling Services:

• Provide resources for students, parents, and staff.
• Coordinate efforts with other school services (nurse, psychologist, special education teacher, speech therapist, district social worker, etc.).
• Participate in IAT, IEP, 504 and other meetings.
• Maintain confidentiality.
• Coordinate standardized testing in the building.
• See students individually and in small group (based on needs).
• Classroom guidance (based on needs).
• Grade Level Guidance Assemblies.
• Coordinate our Peace Builders Program
• Participate in Parent Education Evenings.

Intervention Assistance Team (IAT) Meetings:

• Team focused approach that identifies a specific concern a student is having (academic or behavioral).
• The team (parent, teachers, principal, school psychologist, and counselor) meets to develop interventions to address the concern.
• The team meets again, approximately six weeks later, to see how the interventions are working.
• Parents and teachers can initiate an IAT Meeting.
