Middle School Counselor

Dear CIS Community,

I’m excited to introduce this space as a resource for everything related to adolescent behaviour, emotional development, and social-emotional learning. As your middle school counselor, my role is to support students in navigating the challenges that arise during these important years. This blog will be a go-to place for articles, helpful resources, and videos that explore topics like emotional intelligence, mental health, and personal growth.

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to a new school year. My name is Andie Urquhart and I am thrilled to serve as the middle school counselor at CIS.

The journey through middle school is truly exciting - it's complex, dynamic, fun, frustrating, enriching and wondrous, and it follows many different paths. I promise to be right alongside our middle schoolers to guide them through this transition from childhood to adolescence. This is my sixth year at CIS and my 31st year welcoming new families back to school. Let the fun begin!
