Student Support Services

Five counselors stand in the high school hallway

The Bound Brook School District has taken a proactive approach to prioritize the well-being of all students and staff.

Student Support Services at Community Middle School help student development, learning strategies, and understand and promote academic success in collaboration with school staff, administration and parents/guardians. The department also assists in student orientation information services and standardized testing. Students may access services in the guidance office with their grade’s counselor who can assist during regular school hours and throughout the summer.
