Guidance and Support
To help every child achieve their full potential, we want to help our students thrive in school and life.
We are fortunate to have a full-time school counselor who understands and promotes success for our students and a full-time school nurse who helps to take care of all of us. Their dedication to our students makes a difference every day.
Full-time School Counselor
STM’s Counseling and Support program is led by our school counselor.
Our program’s goal is to support, facilitate and provide the student with the necessary tools to achieve his/her full potential and be successful in school. This is possible when parents, school, and students work together as a team towards the achievement of this goal. We are blessed to have Mrs. Kelley, who is a licensed clinical social worker by the state of Georgia, as our full-time counselor. She collaborates with school staff and parents to create an environment for students to thrive.
Student Success Team (SST)
We promote academic excellence through an integrated curriculum which takes into account different learning styles and abilities.
As a school, we focus on each student’s needs. If a student requires additional help to reach his/her potential, he/she is referred to the Student Success Team (SST). Mrs. Kelley leads SST, which is a committee of school faculty and support personnel assigned to identify, plan, and recommend alternative instruction, organizational, or behavioral strategies for a given student as a first step in working to meet the student’s needs.
For example, if a teacher identifies a student needs additional help with their fine motor skills for writing, he/she can bring that need to the SST who would determine a strategy to support the student. Perhaps a Resource Teacher would work with them in a small group outside of class. Or, if a student needs additional academic challenge activities within lessons, the SST can provide guidance on ways to offer additional breadth and depth to stretch the student's learning.
Full-time School Nurse
Our school nurse provides direct care for our students.
The goal of our school nurse is to support student health and academic success. We are blessed to have Mrs. Finley, who is a registered nurse. She provides care for injuries, acute illness, and long-term management of students with special health care needs. She also advises students, their parents or guardians, and staff on health issues, as well as ensures faculty and staff are trained in CPR.

FAQs
Do you have a “gifted” program?
While we do not have a traditional gifted program, our school prioritizes academic rigor for all students. Our teachers differentiate instruction to meet diverse needs, ensuring everyone has opportunities for success. This inclusive approach fosters a sense of community and prepares students for real-world challenges.
