Counseling at middle school
Special focus is placed on school success skills (organization and study habits), identity development, diversity and inclusion, and self-advocacy.
Lincoln’s Middle School Counseling Program works closely with teachers, parents, and students to both plan activities for all and to meet the individual needs of students.

- Individual meetings with students to support success
- Collaboration and consultation meetings with teachers and parents to support individual student success
- Parent education and support workshops
- Sponsor of school clubs and after school activities for students: Leadership Development; Student Council
- Coordinate school-wide initiatives and activities: World Kindness Day, Mix It Up at Lunch Day, Cultural Diversity Day
