How & Why?
How do I see the counselor?
Self-referral
Teacher referral
Parent referral
Administrative referral
Request of the counselor
Referral by a friend
Typically I will try to set up a time to see the student that will least affect classroom academic time. However, this is not always a possibility. Students are responsible for making up whatever classroom assignments they miss while talking with the counselor, but they are not penalized for not being in class.
