Welcome to Benton Middle School!
Introduction
My name is Mr. Taylor Naleppa and I am the school counselor for last names Cru-Hei. This is my first year at Benton Middle. I love being a counselor and creating a safe space for all students to feel comfortable to share and be their true selves.
What do I do?
Individual sessions
Small groups
Mediations
Guidance lessons
Suicide Screenings
Support 504, Sped, Intervention, and ELL
Schedules (ooh so many schedules)
Parent Teacher Conferences
The list can go on and on so I'll just talk about what I am doing now.
Academic Career Plans
7th Grade students that did not complete an ACP in FACS class will be receiving an email this week with a PowerPoint presentation and a link on how to complete it. It is a county wide requirement for all students in 7th grade.

Academic Group:
The academic group is designed for students who struggle with:
- turning in or completing assignments
- keeping track of work
- advocacy
- organization
And as a result have received F's on their report card for a core class. This group is coordinated by every school counselor and organized by alpha. Students who qualify will be invited to participate and given more information.
