Middlebury Elementary School

The counseling program is designed to provide guidance to all students. The school counselor meets regularly with all students as part of an educational program to teach students to work together, handle peer pressure, solve problems and know the dangers of drugs and alcohol. The counselor also coordinates a Kindness activity where students reflect upon what it means to be kind.

Consequences Panel: Students can ask questions to the panel (principal, middle school students, law enforcement, parents) about "What would happen if I....?" The panel talks about the consequences for specific behaviors with the goal of helping the students to make good choices in their lives so they will not engage in those particular behaviors.
