We also have a separate site just for Woolridge School Counseling. If you haven’t checked out our website yet, please see the link below and find out what we have been teaching your students during our lessons.

Our students know at school if they need to talk to one of the counselors they let their teacher know and they complete a form. Since we are not in school right now, we decided to make an online form. You (Parents if you need to talk with us about something, please complete this form) or your child may complete the form. Once we receive the information, Ms. Thompson or Mrs. Sarkees will contact you through email to set up a time to speak online.

Let us know if you have any questions
