Guidance News
Ms. Phoenix Aiello, our middle school guidance counselor is primarily responsible for grades 6-8. Students and parents/guardians should contact Ms. Aiello early in the year regarding any academic or personal concerns. Ms. Aiello’s extension is 273.
Academics
Students – Start the year off strong! Set up times to meet with teachers. Come see Mr. Elsner or Ms. Aiello to talk about study skills, note-taking, test anxiety, or any other question you have about being a student. Parents and guardians – contact teachers. Email is by far the easiest and best way to check-in with them about your student’s progress. Don’t wait until progress reports!!
Freshmen and Sophomores have begun Achievement Teams once per week. Students in 6th grade will be working on organizational skills. 7th graders will be focusing on study habits and skills. All students in grades 6-12 will also have academic enrichment periods this year. These periods are designed to provide students with time for extra help from teachers, to tutor fellow students or to work on enrichment projects or classes. Ask your son or daughter about these programs to start a conversation about how we are helping students learn to be better learners.
Guidance Advisory Council
It is important to have an advisory council for the guidance program. The new National Model for School Counseling specifically endorses this idea as best practice. Last year a small group was formed and was instrumental in coordinating a Career Day for 6th grade. If you are interested in discussing guidance related programs and activities related to student’s academic, social/personal, and career exploration needs, please call Mr. Elsner at x272 or email at delsner@foxboroughrcs.org.
