:

My name is Tamara Morgan, and I am a School Counselor and the Test Coordinator at Knox Middle School. My office is located in the 8th grade  building-in the Guidance suite. As a counselor, I strive to promote:

• Success in school.
• Decision making skills.
• Career Awareness.
• Cooperation between home and school.
• Communications

As a middle school counselor, I am also available when:

• a student needs someone to talk to about a situation.
• a student wants help with a problem or plan.
• a student wants information about educational and/or occupational plans.
• a student needs support during the in-between years.

I can help Parents-

• Learn about their child's ability and progress in school
• Become aware of attitudes and behavioral changes of their child during the middle years
• Understand the school's programs and procedures

I am also responsible for enrolling new students. If you are new to the Knox area, here are the requirements for enrolling a student at Knox Middle School:

• Only a parent or guardian can enroll a student.
• You must present proof of domicile ( ex:current utility bill).
• A withdrawal form is required from the previous school.
• If coming from out of state, the student's birth certificate and immunizations must be presented.
• Knox does have policies for uniforms .
• Discipline Status Form #5 must be completed and notarized.

I also want to encourage parents to discuss internet safety issues with their children. Technology is wonderful when it is used appropriately, but it can be dangerous if it is not supervised. If you will click on "Links," I have attached several websites that deal with internet safety issues.

If you have any questions, please contact me at 704-633-2922, ext. 822.
