ABOUT US!
School counselors follow confidentiality guidelines allowing students to safely share with a trusted adult. We do share this information with other adults when the student may be in danger or a danger to others, or we ask the student before sharing with teachers or parents. Thank you for understanding the sensitivity of what students share with us and helping protect that.
