A Note to Students, Parents, and Families...
We are currently in an unprecedented situation that has challenged us in many ways. Emotionally, we may be feeling anxious, worried, upset, happy, etc. Physically, we may feel restless, tired, or more well-rested. Whatever it is that YOU are going through, I want you to know that it is OK to feel that way and it is 100% valid to feel whatever it is you are feeling.
During the time that you are away from school, I will be available to you to provide you with resources such as relaxation techniques, online meetings, and opportunities to check in with me if needed.
Just like in school, my main priority is YOU and to provide YOU with what you and your family may need during this time.
Ms. Toledo Is Here For You Virtually
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.
