School Counseling

  • Saratoga Union School District believes in educating the whole individual.  Beyond the classroom at Redwood Middle School, the Schools Counselor partners with families to help every student become their best self.  The Redwood School Counselor supports students and families with academic, social/emotional, and physical well-being. Services are available to all students at Redwood Middle School. More information about the counseling support and services, the PTA sponsored Club 47, and the student recognition programs can be found on the RMS School Counseling website.

    The district also partners with Counseling and Support Services for Youth (CASSY) to deliver a comprehensive mental health program for students at all four schools. A full-time therapist is on campus every school day at Redwood Middle School, grades 6-8. Part-time therapists are on campus at each of our elementary schools to provide mental health services for grades K-5.

Angela Deans, Redwood Middle School Counselor

Serving Redwood students

I received my BS from the San Diego State University in Criminal Justice and Sociology and my PPS credential and MA in Educational Counseling from San Jose State. I have been part of the Saratoga Union School District for over 14 years and look forward to many more! I have been blessed to work in an amazing community with supportive families, colleagues, and staff at Redwood Middle School. I have worked with children and adolescents that come from many different cultures and my passion is about helping students enjoy the process of learning and becoming respectful, caring, curious young adults!
