Q: How can a School Counselor help?
A: Counselors are a great asset to any school and provide a variety of insight and expertise. We can help students sort out problems, discuss feelings and needs, explore options, and reach decisions. We can also help parents with concerns about student classroom performance, family changes (such as moving, death, divorce, or separating), home stress, interpretation of standardized test results, parenting skills, classroom behavior, a sudden change in a child's behavior, peer relations, and responsibility.
Q: How do I see my School Counselor?
A: Please stop by your School Counselor's office any time or schedule a time to meet with her. If the door is closed, please fill out a "I need to see a counselor" ticket and slide it under the door. Please remember, sometimes the counselor is in meetings, conferences, or seeing another student, so please be patient and know Mrs. Saunders will get to you as soon as she can.
