WMS Program Guide 

Counselors will lead 6-week small group lessons with students to work on specific skills. These groups are made up of about 8-10 students who could benefit from working on similar skills. These groups may cover coping skills, social skills, leadership concepts, communication skills, etc. Students are selected for groups based on teacher, parent, or self-referral. Small groups are optional and parents are always notified before a group begins if their student is being selected to be a part of a group.  Please contact a counselor if you are interested in your child being part of a counseling group.

All students are able to visit with a counselor by filling out the Counselor Request Form in their counseling google classroom. Parents who would like to speak to a counselor about their child or have a counselor meet with their child, please call or email Mrs. Woofter or Mrs. Eilders at anytime! You can find our contact information at the bottom of this page.
