Middle School Guidance Page
Welcome to the Gateway Regional Middle School! My name is Mrs. Driscoll and
I will be your child’s Guidance Counselor during their middle school years
here at Gateway.
Counselors offer many services for assisting pupils to adjust to the
school's organization, plan of studies, and program of activities.
Counseling Services at Gateway Middle School are mainly in the areas of:
individual counseling, orientation, providing occupational and educational
information, course selection, developing and using student records, and
standardized testing.
A carefully planned system of individual and group
guidance activities by counselors, teachers, social workers, student
assistance coordinators, and administrators has been established so that
each pupil will be able to get the most out of his/her school life and
mature intellectually and emotionally, as well as physically, to his/her
highest possible level.
Counselors help students plan a program of studies
which is best suited for their individual interests, abilities, aptitudes,
and desires. Students should feel free to turn to their counselors for information and help concerning personal and school adjustments, problems dealing with choice of courses, and vocational planning.
