Counseling
At Lamar Middle School, we know that students learn best when their basic needs are met. This wishlist helps us stock snacks and simple meal items to support students who may be hungry during the day or need extra food to take home. Your contributions help us meet students’ essential needs—addressing the foundation of Maslow’s hierarchy—so they can focus on learning, growing, and thriving. Every item donated makes a real difference in helping our students feel safe, cared for, and ready to succeed. Thank you for supporting our kids and our community!

Counseling
Support services are available for every student in the school. These services include:
-
help with academic planning
-
career and occupational information
-
study organization skills
-
help with home, school, and/or social concerns
-
any questions the student may feel he/she would like to discuss with the counselor.
If a student needs to meet with a counselor, the student may ask a teacher for permission or stop by during lunch.
While all of Lamar’s counselors proceed with appropriate action based on their professional judgment, they do not provide on-going therapy. If the counselor identifies a student in need of on-going services, the counselor will contact the parents with appropriate referrals.
