Counseling

RIS Counseling Department

When students enter Roosevelt Intermediate School, each one is assigned a school counselor who will help guide them through their three middle school years.  The RIS school counselors work with students and families to make their school experience a happy and successful one.

Counseling is a process that offers a safe environment to explore thoughts and feelings.  Through this process, counseling can help students build positive self-esteem, develop problem-solving skills and utilize effective coping strategies.

The middle school years are an exciting, yet challenging, time for adolescents.  Here are some ways a counselor can help...

  •   Assisting students to navigate social situations

  •   Learning to cope with academic challenges

  •   Developing positive self-esteem and character traits

  •   Providing study skills and organizational strategies

  •   Supporting families as their child progresses through the middle school years
