Welcome to Douglass K8 Optional School. Middle school can be a scary, exciting, fun, or a challenging time for many students. It is normal for students and parents to sense these emotions. Students are not only making a change to a new school but they are also going through many physical and emotional changes that accompany adolescence. I will support the success of our students, parents, faculty and staff through meaningful lessons or videos. I will provide these resources to help develop our DK8 family socially, emotionally, and academically. As your child's counselor, my door is always open to address your concerns. We will work together to ensure the success of each of your scholars. Thank you for your continued patience and support.
