Student Resources
In addition to our Parent Resource Center, the Guidance Department also has a variety of books for students that address common Middle School issues and concerns! These resources are located in the Guidance Classroom. If a student is interested in borrowing a book, he or she should talk to Mrs. Antonio or Mrs. Auteri. The following books and websites are categorized by the topics that we will be covering in 5th and 6th Grade Guidance Class.
