Being a student at the Tiverton Middle School involves meeting new people, adjusting to different teachers and classes, facing challenges and learning to make important decisions. During middle school years there are many things to learn and many new skills students need to develop. The guidance office works to help students learn the skills necessary for a successful middle school experience.

As a middle school student you will find yourself needing to make decisions in some of the following areas:

a) Seeing yourself as a very special individual with talents and abilities which you can develop.

b) Recognizing weaknesses which may require you to work harder to achieve
success.

c) Learning to accept some reasonable controls on your freedom for the good of
all; you, your friends, and all those in school.

d) Deciding how much your friends should influence what you do.

e) Making choices about tobacco, alcohol and drugs.

f) Learning to adjust to your bodies which are changing from those of children to adults.

g) Making plans for your future-setting educational goals and exploring possible careers.

Counselors and teachers are here to help you gain the knowledge and information you need to make wise choices for now and the future. You can arrange a meeting with your counselor simply by coming to the Guidance Office. Your counselor will arrange to meet with you each year.
