Grade 6

Welcome!

My name is Amanda Eiges (formerly Alicastro) and I am one of Edison's School Counselors! As a middle school counselor, my role is to support students’ academic, social, and emotional growth. I work closely with students, families, administration, and teachers to help ensure each child feels supported, connected, and successful at school.

I work with students to build skills such as problem-solving, emotional regulation, organization, and healthy peer relationships. I also assist students in navigating challenges that may arise, whether that be academic concerns, social difficulties, or personal stressors.

Collaboration is a key part of my role. I partner with families and staff to share insights, develop strategies, and create a supportive environment where students can thrive. I am always available as a resource for parents who have questions or concerns about their child’s well-being.

My goal is to help every student feel confident, supported, and prepared throughout their time at EIS

School Counselors follow their assigned grade from 6th through 8th grade.
