Welcome to my school notes page! My name is Mindy Muire, and I am the Intervention Specialist for West Rowan Middle School. One may wonder what an Intervention Specialist does at a school. Here are a few of my responsibilities: Alcohol, tobacco, and other drug Prevention/Intervention- which includes individual and family counseling and referral to/collaboration with community agencies. Teens Against Tobacco is an active club here at WRM that works to educate students and others about the dangers of cigarette and smokeless tobacco. Character Education, Attendance, Drop-Out Issues, Peer Mediation (coming soon) are all areas that I am involved in here at WRM. I also serve as the "go-to" counselor for 7th grade. I am available to meet with students who need to talk to someone about ANY issue. I welcome parental involvement and look forward to working with parents to alleviate any issues a student is experiencing that is interfering with his or her academic progress, knowing that mental health is as important as physical health.
Look for more information to follow.

This year, WRM is spotlighting Character daily and incorporating traits that are important to success in our morning announcements and by having brief discussions during homeroom.
This month our Spotlight is on Responsibility with a focus on Education and getting off to a good start here at WRMS.

Teens Against Tobacco will be getting up and running in September. Stay tuned for more information.
