Meet your Counseling Team
(Click on Counselor to view their bio and preferred method of contact)How can I see my counselor:
Students: Counselors have an open door policy and are typically available on a 'walk-in' basis to students who are in immediate need or in crisis. If you have specific topics of concern or feel more comfortable scheduling an appointment with your counselor in advance, you are also welcome to do so by emailing or leaving a yellow slip for your counselor. Please note that if your counselor is not available at the time you come down to the office, just leave a yellow slip or ask our Counseling Registrar, Mrs. Kelley, to leave a message with your counselor.
Parents/Guardians: It is best to call the office to arrange an appointment to see your student's counselor. This ensures appropriate time allocated to your needs.

Academic counseling (incl. difficulties and interventions)
Short term/crisis counseling
Socio-emotional counseling
