The Department of Counseling Services
& the Nurse's Office

On behalf of the Counseling Department and the Nurse's Office, welcome!

The Guidance program is an essential tool for the success of students at the middle school level. Through our program, we strive to help students not only make the right academic decisions, but we also attempt to guide them as they go through adolescence. Teenagers experience the most change during these crucial years, and we are committed to aiding them socially, emotionally, and cognitively.

The Nurse's office aids in providing medical care to the student body of EMS, as well as, valuable resources to both parents and students including various medical and athletic forms required by Roxbury schools.

Please feel free to contact our department by phone at 973.584.2973, by fax at 973.584.4529, or by email.
