7th Grade

Dear 7th Grade Families,

Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year! I hope you had a restful and fun-filled summer with your loved ones. I am so excited to be your child’s 7th grade school counselor this year again!

Seventh grade is a time of tremendous growth—academically, socially, and emotionally. Students begin to discover more about themselves, deepen friendships, face new challenges, and develop the skills they’ll carry with them into high school and beyond. It’s an exciting and sometimes overwhelming year, and I am here to support your child every step of the way.

As their school counselor, my goal is to help all students thrive by providing a safe, supportive environment where they feel heard, respected, and empowered. I offer support in areas such as academic planning, emotional wellness, peer relationships, organization, and decision-making. I also work closely with teachers and families to ensure we’re meeting each child’s individual needs.

Please know that my door is always open—to both students and parents. Whether you have a question, concern, or just want to check in, don’t hesitate to reach out. Together, we can make this year one of growth, confidence, and success for your child.

I look forward to a fantastic year ahead!
