Sligo Middle School and Montgomery County Public School System is committed to provide in all areas to support our students and families. 

Sligo’s Counseling Program is committed to empowering every student to realize his or her potential by implementing a comprehensive school counseling program. We inspire learning by fostering academic, career, and social-emotional development, while encouraging students to become independent thinkers and creative problem solvers. Sligo’s counselors also provide responsive services that include student/staff/parent consultation, community referrals as well as classroom guidance.   

We place a high level of importance on maintaining confidentiality and work as a team with students, parents, and teachers to resolve any issues/conflicts.  However, situations may exist where information shared with a school counselor requires mandatory reporting by state law.  The mandated information include: any reference or indication of harm to self of others, and child abuse or neglect.
