Ms. Susan Kassly, Social Worker

Mrs. Sherry Thomas, Counselor

Mrs. Sullens, School Nurse

We would like to invite all students, parents, and staff to stop by and see us. Ms. Kassly is located in room 102, Mrs. Thomas in 101, and Mrs. Sullens in 206, all near the main office.  We can be reached by phone at 651-8800, or at our email addresses listed below.

Some services we may provide include talking with students, consulting with teachers and parents, counseling in individual and group settings, leading skills acquisition and divorce support groups, and assisting with academic, personal, health, and career development.  In addition, if you are concerned about academics, we can assist you by considering options such as after school tutoring, consultation with the team of teachers, or possible referrals for further academic testing.  Mrs. Sullens also has information and resources on various health issues.

Other programs we are involved with include the Student Assistance Program and the mentoring program.  The Student Assistance Program (SAP) is available to address issues related to behaviors, academics, health, and attendance.  The SAP team includes teachers from each of the teams, administrators, and ourselves, and the goal is to establish effective interventions to help students become successful.

We are proud to continue the mentoring program.  This year we have 28 of our students paired up with a high school junior or senior.  These pairs meet every other week and also participate in various group activities.  The comments we receive about the program from students, parents and teachers are very positive.
