Social-Emotional & Wellness

Information shared with School Counselors is held in the highest respect.  It is important for counselors to maintain trusting relationships with students, while advocating for student needs and well-being. We are obliged to break student confidentiality in the following instances:

• when the student is in danger (suicidal risk, significant self-harm)

• when the student is perceived to be a danger to others

• suspected child abuse

• if a crime is being committed

• if the counselor is subpoenaed by a court

• We want to ensure there are not barriers due to financial need. Counselors can assist in accessing funds to help students reach their potential. INVESTED donates to Olympic High School. If you would like to donate to this fund, contact our Bookkeeper 662-2717.

• Students/Families who may qualify for our state "Free-and-Reduced-Lunch Program" can apply online at Free/Reduced Lunch Program or call our main office for an application at 662-2703.

Students in CKSD who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence may qualify for services provided by the school district?  Are you and/or your children…

• Doubled-up or sharing housing due to a loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason?   

• Living in a motel, hotel, campground, car, or other similar location due to the lack of alternative adequate accommodations?

• Living in transitional settings such as emergency or transitional shelters?

If any of the above situations apply to your family, your child may qualify for services such as free meals, transportation, and additional tutoring.  Children in temporary or short-term foster care may also qualify.  Please contact the counseling staff for more information.
