Middle School Guidance Counselor

As the Middle School Guidance Counselor, I work closely with all Middle School students, parents/guardians, teachers, and administrators to build an inviting and supportive school environment, where everyone is valued and respected. I will take your concerns seriously and help you find a workable solution. In addition to helping Middle School students navigate the admissions process for high school, I help with academic difficulties, peer relationships, drug and alcohol issues, and special education issues. Please contact me with any questions about how I can help you succeed both academically and personally during your time at NEST+m.

High School Application Deadline
All high school applications are in. The next phase of the high school articulation process is the Specialized Round Results, which is scheduled for early February. At that time, students who took the SHSAT and/or auditioned for LaGuardia will receive their high school results in school. For students who did not take the SHSAT and/or audition for LaGuardia, they will receive their high school decision letter in March during the Main Round.
