Counseling

School counselors are available to every student in the school. At Marshall, our counselors follow students through their three years of middle school and form relationships with students and parents to help navigate and support them through the middle school years.

Counselors are available for any student concern and maintain students’ privacy unless there is a possibility of potential harm. If there is an emergency, students or parents should contact the counselor immediately. Otherwise, the student may fill out a Request to See the Counselor form in the office between passing periods or before/after school. A student may ask a teacher for permission and they will contact the counselor.
