The East Middle School Guidance Program is developed to meet the unique social, personal, and academic needs of middle school students. As an intregal part of the Comprehensive Guidance and Counseling Curriculum adopted by Farmington Public Schools the program revolves around four component areas. These areas include Guidance, Individual Planning, Responsive Services, and System Support.

As counselors we work closely with students, staff,and parents in order to lay a foundation for educational excellence and foster good decision making which is both self-satisfying and socially responsible. Some of the ways in which we assist include:

• Personal Counseling
• Individual Planning of Academic Schedules
• Academic Monitoring
• Group Counseling
• Middle School Transition (7th Grade)
• High School Transition (8th Grade)

As caring professionals, our counseling department works to create an environment that promotes trust, honesty, and openness amongst the 800 + students that we serve.  Please feel free to contact us if we can be of service.
