COVID-19 Action Plan

March 19-May 4, 2020

In an effort to keep students engaged and feeling connected to the school community, counseling staff will be checking in with students daily, either via email or via Google Meet. It is important to know that delivering more intensive clinical services remotely is a complicated endeavor. To ensure safety and consistent practice across the secondary levels, counseling contacts will work as follows:

  • If a counselor and student connect via Google Meet and the counseling session is benign, the session will run as it would while in school.
  • If during the session a student makes statements or alludes to being unsafe or at-risk in any measure, the counselor will begin to record the session on Meet, explain to the student that the call should end, and that he/she will be contacting the parents/guardians to discuss and report the statements.
  • If the parents are unavailable or can not be reached, the counselor will call Mary Bruhl, the Director of Student Services, who will contact the police department to perform a wellness check on the student. If Mary Bruhl is unavailable, the counselor will call Dave and/or Stephanie Worthley.
  • The counselor will then contact administration, who will ensure follow-up with the family and student.

If at any point you or your student should require additional emotional support, please refer to the following:
