Dean's Office

The Dean's Office is located in room 129 next to the Counseling Office in the Administration Building.  Our main function is to provide safety and security for the students of Nightingale Middle School.  The Dean's office is staffed with a full-time dean and adult campus aides whose responsibilities range from arranging and participating in parent and student conferences to supervising students during nutrition and lunch time.  In addition, the dean's office is a safe and confidential environment in which students can discuss their concerns.
