Counselors' Corner
Remember: Success isn't about being perfect, it's about making progress. Your counselors are here to support you throughout the year. Stop by, send us a message, or complete an appointment request if you need assistance.
Responsibility
Take ownership of your learning, your choices, and your actions.
"Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out." - Robert Collier
Message for Students:
A new school year is a fresh start! Every day is an opportunity to learn, grow, and make positive choices. Setting goals, staying organized, and asking for help when you need it are great ways to build a successful year.
"Start with one goal."
Choose one academic goal and one personal goal for this month. Write them down, check your progress each week, and celebrate small successes along the way.
Examples:
📚 Read for 20 minutes each day.
⏰ Arrive at class on time every day.
🤝 Meet one new classmate.
📝 Keep assignments organized in one place.
🙋 Ask for help when something is confusing.
While it is important that a student's conversations with a school counselor be kept confidential, confidentiality does have its limitations. According to the American School Counselor Association's Ethical Standards for School Counselors, counselors must "keep information confidential unless legal requirements demand that confidential information be revealed or a breach is required to prevent serious and foreseeable harm to the student."(American School Counselor Association [ASCA], 2010).
The most frequent type of breaches include a student verbalizing the following:
1. Verbal, Physical or Sexual Abuse
2. Neglect
3. A desire to harm him/herself
4. A desire to harm someone else
5. An unreported sexual assault
