Dear Families, 

As your middle school counselor, it is my primary responsbility to promote the academic, career, and social/emotional development of ALL students. It is my job at the middle school to advocate for ALL students in grades 5 through 8. 

Counseling services are provided to students individually, and through groups. Currently, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, I am also meeting with students in a virtual setting. Some of the topics that I am or will meet with students about include:

• Coping during Covid-19

• Personal school counseling services focusing on self-esteem and self-confidence

• Social Skills

• Bullying Prevention

• Conflict resolution

• Grief and loss (i.e., family, friends, pets)

• Personal and group counseling services focused on family dynamics (i.e., divorce, separation, alcohol)

• Coping skills focused on managing and dealing with middle school struggles (i.e., organization, friendship, decision-making)

• Test taking tips and study skills. 

If you feel that your child is struggling with something and could benefit from speaking with me, please contact me at conners@lopatsd.org or at (908) 213-2955 x2604. 

Stay Safe,

Mrs. Stacy Conner
