The
Monocacy Middle School Guidance Office has a very fine guidance program in
place for your child. Its purpose is to encourage your child to be
academically successful and to be well prepared for college or the world of
work upon high school graduation.
Guidance
services include:
- Academic Guidance
and Counseling assists students and their parents to understand
curricular options, assist with organization, and assist with studying
for tests when needed.
- Career Guidance
and Counseling assists students to understand post-secondary
opportunities.
- Personal/Social
Guidance and Counseling assists students to understand
themselves, the rights and needs of others, conflict resolutions and
encourage individual goal setting.
These
services are delivered through:
- Classroom
Guidance is a series of classroom lessons conducted by counselors
at various grade levels to promote academic, personal/social and career
development of all students.
- Small Group
Counseling allows students to share mutual concerns with their peers.
Emphasis is upon problem solving and the development of positive
attitudes and effective personal skills.
- Individual
Counseling helps students learn more efficiently and effectively,
with an emphasis on identifying concerns early before they become
overwhelming.
The counseling
department encourages and appreciates parental involvement and input,
and will coordinate parent conferences with classroom teachers. A counselor
will frequently request appointments with students to discuss academic
or social concerns. Students wishing to talk with a counselor should
stop by the guidance office before school or during lunch to make an
appointment or click the following link and print a copy of the Guidance
Appointment Request Form. The student should turn in
the completed form to the guidance secretary. The counselor will then
meet with your child. All information you or your child tells the counselor
remains confidential with the counselor unless there is harm to your
child or others. We look forward to working with you this year. If you
have any questions or concerns about your child, please do not hesitate
to call us. The Guidance Office hours are 8:00 a.m.- 3:00 p.m. We hope
this will be a successful academic year for your child.
