Counselor's Role

At Rick Schneider Middle School, our School Counselors serve the educational, social, and emotional needs of students through school-wide guidance, individual sessions, and group counseling sessions so that each child will become a productive member of society. Our School Counselors collaborate with the administrative team to develop programs and support families including parent education, consultation, resources, and referrals.

Leadership and Advocacy

Our success at Rick Schneider Middle School is largely due to the active role the Counselors play on the administrative team. They conduct weekly group and individual student counseling sessions for specific students with greater needs. One example of their leadership on campus is when our Counselors meet with teacher teams during their Professional Learning Communities to better equip our teachers on needed skills to help students who are in crisis or have undergone past trauma.
