Pacific Trails Middle School

 

 

The Counseling Office is a safe, supportive environment for students and a welcoming place for parents/guardians.  Our Counselors are here to assist students as they grow academically, develop positive social and emotional skills, and explore their interests to help plan for high school and beyond.  Counselors works closely with teachers, administrators, and other support staff to help ensure that students have a positive middle school experience.

 

 

The Counseling Office is located in the Administration Building.  In our office, you will find our school Counselors Mrs. Curry and Ms. Murt, along with Ms. Marielle, our Registrar/Counseling Secretary, and, once a week, Ms. Mako, our School Social Worker, comes in to meet with students and families.  We also have a Counseling Corner with tables and a quiet space for students, when needed.

 

You may need help with your Aeries account, want to check your grades, or visit when you or a friend may be in need of support.  Come by and say hello!  We encourage students to come in to ask questions, and get to know the Counseling Office.

 

A School Counselor can help students by providing support and guidance when you have questions/concerns about your academics, or when you need to talk with a trusted adult about personal things that are going on at home or school.
