Guidance Office

The Tantasqua Regional Junior High School Guidance Department is committed to providing support services which allow students to reach their individual potential. Guidance personnel recognize the uniqueness of each student and focus on assisting students in the development of their academic, social /emotional and personal potential. Counselors work with students, parents and teachers to facilitate the transition from elementary school to junior high and from junior high to high school. Counselors are assigned to students for their two years at the junior high and also coordinate the course selection process between schools. Working with students individually, in groups and within classrooms, counselors provide information and support related to academics, behavioral concerns, social/emotional development and career choices.

In addition, guidance counselors are available to work with parents when questions or concerns arise related to adolescent development, behavior, academics, the school curriculum, standardized test results, or school sponsored activities. Counselors can also serve as a liaison between home and school, offering information to parents regarding students'’ academic or behavioral adjustment and reinforcing guidelines set up by school or home. Students and parents are encouraged to contact their child's guidance counselor whenever they feel these services would be helpful.
