The guidance department at Orefield Middle School provides support
and counseling across the academic, social, and emotional domains.
The counselors believe in the dignity and worth of all students
and are committed to their role as advocates for students in the
educational setting.
Seventh grade guidance classes cover various issues
critical to healthy adolescent development. Students will examine
topics of tolerance, respect, and self-exploration, while learning
effective communication and coping skills. The career interest/research
unit is designed to educate students on the world of work, while
they begin to explore their own strengths and interests.
Peer mediation, a program available to all students,
affords students the opportunity to resolve conflicts in a peaceful
way. Peer mediation teaches students to see conflict as a part of
everyday life and an opportunity to grow and learn as they solve
their own problems through improved communication, problem solving,
and critical thinking skills.
Peer tutoring offers students the opportunity to
receive academic assistance from fellow students who have volunteered
their services and have a desire to improve the academic school
community by helping others.
