A Note from your Counselors:
Welcome back, Douglas Middle School students and families!
We want to take this space and opportunity to thank you for sharing your students with us here at DMS. Heading into the 2025/2026 school year is exciting with new classes, new schedules, and new faces. After all, Middle School is a time full of new experiences for our students! With this may come challenges. None of which our students need to face alone.
As School Counselors, we work to help students with age-appropriate social, emotional, and academic skills. As a means of helping students become academically and socially successful, group and individual counseling services are available to all students. The emphasis of these services may include goal setting, critical thinking, relation to others, understanding self, organizational skills, and other student-centered needs.
We look forward to all the opportunities this school year holds,

Douglas School District
Counseling Philosophy
The Douglas School District counseling program is an integral part of our K-12 educational program. The counseling program is developmental by design and includes sequential activities to enhance the academic component of the school program. School counselors and classroom teachers, implement the program with the support of administrators, students and parents.
The counseling program is designed to address the needs of all students by helping them to acquire competencies in academic, career and social/emotional development domains. These competencies enable each student to benefit from all aspects of their educational experiences to prepare them to meet the challenges of an ever-changing world.

TOO MUCH SCREEN TIME, TOO FEW ZZZs
TOO MUCH SCREEN TIME, TOO FEW ZZZs
Screens, including TVs, computers, tablets, iPhones and video games, can emit a blue light that can be a strong signal to your brain that it’s daytime or wake time. If the screen is being used at night, it can send your body a signal that makes it difficult to know it’s nighttime and sleep time. That can make it harder to go to sleep and stay asleep,” says CHOC pediatric neurologist Dr. Anjalee Galion.
