Counseling Referral Process

Reasons to Refer:

• Concerns with your child's attitude toward school or academic growth.

• Concerns with your child's personal/social development.

• Concerns with your child's relationships with peers.

• Concerns with your child's reactions to changes within the family that may be effecting his or her learning at school.

Ways to Refer:

• A parent/guardian may refer his or her child.

• A teacher/staff member may refer a student.

• A child may refer themselves.

How to Refer:

• Parents/Guardians/Teacher/Staff: Touch base with the counselor (Mrs. Walter) to communicate concerns. This can be done via conference, phone (972) 350-5805, email/note (WalterE@lisd.net), etc. Mrs. Walter will follow-up with the child, as needed, after referral is made.

• Students: Students can either let the counselor know directly they'd like to visit, let their teacher know they would like to visit with the counselor (who will then let Mrs. Walter know), or they swing by the counseling corner (Room 703) to sign-in.

  • If students prefer to request a visit on their own, they can...

    • Use our Counseling Kiosk via the laptop outside of my door (they'll need to know their Student ID number)

    • Leave a note for me in my blue and gray mailbox (paper and pencils provided above my mailbox)
