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.
