School Counselors are certified educators that are licensed in professional school counseling with a minimum of a master's degree in the field. As such, our Battle Creek Middle School team is uniquely qualified to work with students on their academic, career, and social/emotional needs. Our ultimate goal is to help students start gaining the tools they will need to grow into productive, well-adjusted adults.
Counselors meet with students for confidential individual counseling to address academic, personal, and career concerns. Parents and teachers may refer students, but many students come in on their own. By helping students to identify their own personal strengths, we work with students on learning how to make decisions, set goals, overcome obstacles, and cope with challenges.
Throughout the year we will provide small group workshops. Some common types of workshops deal with friendship, self-esteem, anger, coping skills ,and study skills. These workshops are open to all students that show interest in the topic.
Counselors meet with classes, as needed, to discuss relevant topics such as peer pressure, study skills, calming strategies, career prep, and high school registration.
If your child is having difficulty succeeding in the classroom, the first thing to do is contact his or her teachers. It may be helpful to set up a conference with them to discuss concerns and talk about ways to address the problem. If your child continues to experience difficulty, you should contact Mrs. Alexander to discuss your concerns.

FREE WEEKEND FOOD FOR YOUR STUDENT!
The JetPack Program provides nutritious, non-perishable food to children each weekend
during the school year. If your family is in need of food assistance, please let us help. Our schools
provide high standards and very challenging academic goals for our children. To succeed, students
must be ready to learn. Adequate nutrition—fuel for the mind—is essential. Having adequate food on
the weekend helps a child succeed in the classroom on Monday.
Each student who participates in the JetPack program will receive a packet of food at the end of each
week containing basics for breakfast and lunch for Saturday and Sunday, plus snacks! Information
collected on the registration form, including the names of children participating, is kept confidential
between The Well and the school. The food is provided at no cost to you or your child. The JetPack
program at each campus is a cooperative effort of The Well Outreach, your school, and the
sponsoring organizations that fund and pack the bags.
What is Well Outreach?
The Well Outreach is a non-profit that provides food to families in need in Williamson and Maury Counties. If your family is in need of food, The Well can support you in three different ways. First is through the Jetpack program,, where we can provide your child with food on the weekends distributed at their school on Fridays. The second is through our local food pantry, where you can receive groceries twice each month, including fresh produce, dairy, and frozen meat. The third way is through our monthly mobile food pantries, where we distribute 20,000lbs of food to our surrounding communities with our partner, Second Harvest Food Bank of Nashville.
For information about The Well, please visit our website The Well Outreach website, where we have dates for our Mobile Food Pantries and further information about our services.
