The School Counseling Department offers a variety of services to students, parents, faculty, and administration. Students are assigned to one of these counselors based on their last names. For the academic year, the student-to-counselor assignments are as follows:
Counseling services at Shaker Middle School are designed to meet the educational, social and emotional needs of students at each grade level. The counselor acts as a resource person, a coordinator between teachers, parents and students, and an advisor to the student. Each student is assigned to a counselor upon entering the Middle School and remains with that counselor for both 7th and 8th grade, allowing them to establish a relationship. The counselors seek to understand the expectations and concerns of both students and parents and work together closely to make the Middle School experience rewarding for each student.
