Counselors' Corner

Hello Frost Students and Parents!

At Frost Middle School, our Counseling Department is dedicated to supporting every student’s academic, personal, and social-emotional growth in alignment with our school’s mission to foster responsible, respectful, and resilient learners. Guided by Frost’s vision of cultivating a safe, inclusive, and academically challenging environment, our counselors collaborate with students, families, teachers, and the community to ensure that every student is prepared for success in high school and beyond.

Using the ASCA National Model, we deliver a comprehensive, data-driven counseling program that promotes academic achievement, college and career readiness, and social-emotional well-being. Through classroom lessons, small-group support, and individual counseling, we empower students to set goals, make positive choices, and develop the skills needed to thrive as lifelong learners and contributing members of society.

Important Information regarding permission to take external courses not offered through the District

Students wanting to enroll in external courses not offered through the District must obtain written permission from the Assistant Principal/School Counselor before enrolling. Grades and credits earned at outside institutions without prior approval will not be accepted. Students and parents need to discuss the request with the student's counselor before enrolling in other institutions. Our District offers a variety of summer school and enrichment opportunities that may fulfill your academic goals. Your counselor can help determine if a course aligns with your needs and guide you through the best course options, both within our school and externally, if needed. For questions or to initiate the approval process, please contact Ms. Tania Ferman, our College & Career Counselor

We also hope everyone is safe and well! The Counseling Department would like to share the following community and online resources available to our students in need:
