Elementary and Intermediate Level

Elementary school counselors perform a variety of services which include classroom guidance lessons, coordinating state testing, acting as a liaison between general education and special education, providing crisis intervention, and meeting with families. School counselors facilitate collaboration with the principal, parents, teachers, and outside resources which allows them to focus on a student’s social-emotional growth and how this affects academic performance.

School counselors at Woodward Middle School are available to work with students, staff, and families on any issue or concern that may affect a student’s ability to focus on schoolwork with the goal of supporting students of all abilities as they strive to achieve social, emotional, and academic success. School counselors work individually or in groups with students to promote safety, self-advocacy, resiliency, and problem-solving skills while seeking to encourage and support students as they navigate the exciting experience of middle school.
