Thank you for your patience as we put the finishing touches on our new site. Please check back soon for updates--we're excited to share it with you!

Welcome to Pioneer Middle School Counseling

The purpose of the counseling program at Pioneer is to create a positive environment that challenges students to grow socially, academically, and personally.

As school counselors, our goal is to support the academic success and social growth of all students. We understand that your studentʼs academic success involves much more than reading, writing, and math. We work in partnership with students, parents, teachers, and resources in the community who can help provide solutions. Many factors go into determining the success of a student. If you have any concerns regarding the success of your student, please donʼt hesitate to contact one of us. We look forward to working with you and your students this year.

Zones of Regulation 

Every Monday, in Homeroom, students fill out the zones of regulation form to let their teachers know how they are doing. It is also a way for students to identify their feelings for the day. 

Zones of regulation is a way to understand and teach emotional regulation. It allows students to simplify complex feelings so they can better recognize and communicate how they are feeling.
