K.M.S. students enjoy the benefit of guidance counseling throughout the school year. Students may visit their school counselor when they feel the need by completing a “Help Form” or, in an emergency, by stopping in at the main office for assistance. A “Bully Buster” form may also be filled out and given to either the counselor or the principal. The Bully Buster form is found at Kimberly.edu under the ‘Students’ tab. Students can select to send the request to the principal or counselor while remaining anonymous to their peers.
Our counselor can assist students by assessing their strengths and limitations, helping them develop positive attitudes, guiding students toward making suitable decisions, assisting in solving personal problems, and helping in the discovery of talents and abilities. Parent permission is not required for a school counselor to speak with a student. However, if a school counselor feels the student could benefit from further individual/small group counseling, parent permission must be obtained.
