Visit with a Counselor
Does your child have a need to visit the counselor? You may request a counselor visit, by contacting your child's counselor via phone or email. In case of an emergency, please contact 911.
Students may also request to meet with a counselor (in person or virtually) by filling out a counselor request form available through his/her teacher. Requests can also be made through a teacher or parent.
Should you have questions or need additional information, please let us know.
