We encourage families to join us for our upcoming SEPAC (Special Education Parent Advisory Council) meetings. SEPAC is a wonderful opportunity to connect with other families, learn about special education programs and resources, ask questions, and partner with our schools to support students.
🌟 Help Inspire Our Students’ Futures! 🌟
Douglas Middle School is looking for parents, guardians, local professionals, business owners, and community partners who are willing to share their careers and experiences with our students!
There are two ways to get involved:
Grade 7/8 Career Day — November 6 or 9 (date TBD dependent on presenters availability)
Students will attend two 25–30 minute presentations of their choice and learn about different careers and pathways.
WINN Career Presentations — Throughout the School Year for grades 6-8
Professionals can visit during our WINN block (approximately 1:30–1:58) to meet with students interested in learning more about their career.
We are looking for a wide variety of careers, including STEM, technology, healthcare, business, the arts, public service, skilled trades, education, entrepreneurship, and more!
Our goal is to show students that there is no single path to a successful career. Whether that path includes college, BVT or another technical program, certifications, apprenticeships, entrepreneurship, or another route, we want students to hear directly from people who have experienced it.
Interested in participating? Complete our 2026–2027 Career Day & WINN Volunteer Interest Form:

Your career story could inspire a student's next step!
We are so excited to welcome our students and families back for another school year! We wanted to take a moment to introduce our School Counseling Department and share how each of us can support your child throughout their middle school journey.
Whether your child needs academic guidance, social-emotional support, help navigating a challenge, or simply someone to talk to, we’re here for you! Please don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re always happy to help connect you with the right person.
Here’s to a wonderful school year filled with growth, connection, and success!
Warmly,
Jessica Hurley, Kayla Avedian & Jennifer Markopoulos
