Scheduling
For questions about your student's schedule contact Mrs. Woofter. Please take a look at our program guide for more information about classes offered at Wamego Middle School!
Counseling Groups
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, 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.
Individual Support
All students are able to visit with a counselor by filling out the Counselor Request Form below. 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 anytime! You can find our contact information at the bottom of this page.
