Dear Students, Parents, and Guardians,
We in the BMS counseling department realize that this is a difficult time for students and families. We would like you to know we are here to support you in any way we can. We are accessible by email and phone, and can plan a time to discuss any concerns you may have.
Please know that we can assist students with social, emotional and academic concerns during this very difficult time. If your child is “uneasy” with in-person counseling, please know that we will be taking all necessary precautions to make each student feel comfortable and safe within our counseling setting.
Sincerely,
The Brooklawn Middle School Counseling Department
