How Does A Student See The Counselor?
Students can see their grade level counselor in any of the following ways: self-referral (ask to speak with the counselor), parent request, administrator referral, teacher referral, or referral by friends.
What Services Are Offered?
Students may see their grade level counselor for small group and individual counseling to assist them in a variety of areas.
