APOLLO MIDDLE SCHOOL’S GUIDANCE PROGRAM

Apollo Middle School provides a Guidance Program for every student. Every child has access to guidance services and to school counselors and will be treated equitably. Program components include assistance with academic and career information for future planning, test score interpretation, registration, personal social development, test anxiety, and many other topics that address the concerns and needs of the Apollo school community.

Counselors regularly visit classrooms and work with students individually to assist them in achieving their potential. We encourage parents to get involved with their student’s education and speak with a guidance professional for assistance. This includes the two-grade level counselors, the Guidance Director, and the ESE Specialist.

How to Access a School Counselor for You and/or Your Child

Apollo Middle School is committed to providing excellent customer service.

Our counselors keep regular hours; however, they are often in a classroom, in a group, with students and parents, where they are not always able to assist immediately. Should parents wish to contact a counselor, please call 754-323-2900 to make an appointment with the assigned counselor. In nearly all circumstances, assigned counselors will attempt to return phone calls within the 48-hour turnaround.
