The basis of the Suffield Middle School guidance program is modeled after the developmental guidance philosophy and the five functions of a school counselor. SMS school counselors provide these services during an academic school year. They are as follows: Personal Counseling, Educational and Career Counseling, Appraisal, Referral, and Consultation. Developmental guidance is an approach that facilitates effective change and fosters the total development of each individual student. It is the philosophy of Suffield Middle School to provide the services of personal counseling, educational and career counseling, appraisal, referral and consultation for all students. Helping students to develop their ability to make personal, social, career and educational decisions that foster effective positive change is vital for their success, growth and maturity.
