School Counseling

A note from your School Counselors:

(Updated, August 10, 2020) In light of our current situation, students (and families) may have trouble coping with the ever changing events as well as the media and social media pervasiveness. Please follow this link for a comprehensive list of local resources should you find yourself or your family in need of support while students remain out of school.

Additionally, the school counselors will remain available via email to address student needs related to academic progress, college and career readiness, etc. while students are out of the building during academic weeks.

School counselors are licensed educators who improve student success for ALL students by implementing a comprehensive school counseling curriculum. Learn more about the role of school counselors by following this link.

While all of the school counselors welcome the opportunity to meet with students, it is our intention to keep class disruptions to a minimum. For that reason, students are asked to make appointments to see their counselor whenever possible, rather than asking to be excused from class time.

Parents wishing to make appointments with their child's counselor should contact the counselor over the phone or by e-mail. Should parents need to contact their child in case of an emergency, please contact the school office at x200.
