Counseling Department
The Solorsano Middle School Counseling Department will deliver a comprehensive school counseling program that is based on our counseling core values; one that cultivates, inspires continual growth and resiliency through advocacy and student empowerment. We will provide all students with academic, social-emotional and college & career readiness. We are committed to working collaboratively with all community stakeholders as we are all equally invested in our students’ aptitude and future success.
Comprehensive School Counseling Program
Counselors are available to help all students in the areas of academic, social/emotional, and college/career readiness. Our counseling program follows a multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) model.
This framework consists of three tiers of prevention and intervention. All students receive Tier 1 supports such as counselor classroom presentations, lunchtime activities, and California Colleges lessons. These supports are offered by the entire ASMS counseling team.
Some students receive Tier 2 supports such as short term counseling, small groups, and referrals to community based agencies provided by our School Social Work Counselor. Few students require Tier 3 supports which are considered intensive supports.
The counselors are readily available to support students and their families.
- Families may request an appointment to see a counselor by filling out the “Counselor Appointment Request” Google form which is located on our school website, by calling the school, or by email.
- Students may request an appointment by email or by coming to the office and filling out an appointment request “Purple Slip”.
