Mission Statement:
"To counsel and educate all students to be successful in their academic achievement, personal and social development, and career aspirations."
Role of the Guidance Department
The guidance counselors at Coon Rapids Middle School help students succeed in their academic and personal lives. Students face challenges both personally and developmentally that may interfere with their academic success. We provide a safe, supportive environment for students and offer a variety of services including:
◊ Individual, small group, and crisis counseling
◊ Interpersonal communication skills
◊ Problem solving and coping strategies
◊ Consult with staff and families regarding student needs and concerns
◊ Make referrals to outside counseling agencies

We are located just down the hall from the main office. Students may make appointments to see us by stopping in and filling out a request form. Parents may also call us to set up an appointment.
