Counselor's Corner
BAMS has been recognized with the highest level of implementation for our Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports program in the state of California!
It is the mission of Bernice Ayer Middle School counseling program to promote the complete well-being and success of our students through a commitment to their social, academic, physical, and emotional health.
Our priority is to provide a safe, supportive and genuinely caring environment that meets the unique needs of every student. We strive to establish an acceptable setting where students feel understood through an emphasis on multicultural understanding. We will encourage parents to feel connected through guidance that best meet the needs of their children.
We believe that the role of the school counselor is to work in unison with parents, teachers, staff, and community partners to meet the varying needs of all students.
