SSS Core Team  The purpose of Student Success Services (SSS) is to identify and support students who are dealing with issues that may be interfering with learning.  The SSS core team is comprised of the Assistant Principal, counselors, nurse, school psychologist, Special Education Department Chair and teachers.  The team meets once a week to discuss students who are struggling academically, socially, or emotionally.  Students are referred to the core team by staff, parents, or teachers.  The team decides on a plan of action, and follows up with the student regularly until they are satisfied with the student's improvement. If interested, call your child's counselor.

Support Groups  A counselor meets with a group of six to twelve students on a weekly basis for 6-9 weeks to discuss age appropriate issues.  Support Group topics are based on interest and need.  Counselors run groups pertaining to study skills, family issues, boys' issues, and anger management, and drug/alcohol problems. If interested, student should see his/her counselor and bring a note from home giving permission.  

Having a Voice (HAV)  HAV is a leadership program for students who feel underrepresented at EWMS.  The goal of HAV is to encourage school success, teach effective communication skills and empower students to be a positive model for change.  Students meet to discuss issues and share experiences in a safe environment.  Interested students should sign up in the counseling office.
