School Counseling Services
Comprehensive school counseling services will be offered to all students throughout the year. These services include academic support, college and career planning, as well as individual and small group counseling to address social and emotional concerns that cause students to experience troubles at school. Additional resources and suggestions for referrals to outside agencies are also available through the assistant principals, the school counselor or the school psychologist.
School Counseling Mission Statement
The mission of Quimby Oak Middle School’s counseling program is to ensure an equitable learning environment for all students that supports and nurtures student achievement, resilience, and development. Through this enrichment, all students will acquire the necessary skills to achieve academic excellence, social/emotional development, and career and college exploration to become valuable, competent, and collaborative members of the 21stcentury.
Our Work
The school counseling program upholds the ethical and professional standards of the American School Counselor Association (ASCA). With ASCA Mindsets and Behaviors for School Success in mind, the program uses data to help focus on academic, career, and social/emotional development for all students. The team works to build data driven decisions that directly support student success.
