Hello!

I am excited to work with all of our students and families. As the middle school counselor, I support students in grades 5–8 by providing social, emotional, and academic guidance. I am available to meet with students as needed, or by request from students, families, or staff.

Throughout the school year, I address a variety of topics, including but not limited to:

• Social skills and building positive peer relationships

• Identifying and managing emotions

• Conflict resolution and communication skills

• Bullying prevention and digital citizenship

• Managing anxiety and stress

• Positive and negative self-talk

• Planning for change and transitions

• Signs of suicide and safety awareness

• Healthy decision-making and peer pressure

Services and supports may include:

• School-wide initiatives

• Classroom lessons

• Small group counseling (e.g., social skills groups, lunch groups)

• Individual check-ins or 1:1 meetings

• Restorative circles

• Staff consultation and collaboration

• Parent/guardian communication

• 504 plan coordination

Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. Supporting students takes a team, and I value working together with families and staff to help every student succeed. You can contact me at kdiorio@sau83.org or (603) 895-2511
