SCHOOL COUNSELING SERVICES
MCPS School Counselors provide the following types of counseling services:
· Academic guidance which assists students and their parents to acquire knowledge of the curricula choices available to students, to plan a program of studies, to arrange and interpret academic testing, and to seek post-secondary academic opportunities.
· Career counseling, which helps students to acquire information and plan action about work, jobs, apprenticeships, and post-secondary educational and career opportunities.
· Personal/social counseling which assists a student to develop an understanding of themselves, the rights and needs of others, how to resolve conflict and to define individual goals, reflecting their interests, abilities and aptitudes.
Parents may review materials to be used in counseling programs at their child’s school, and information about the procedures by which parents may limit their child’s participation in such programs by contacting the school counselor at the school their child attends.
Parents, as well as students, should remain in consultation with the high school guidance team to ensure all requirements are being met for the particular diploma being sought by students as they prepare themselves for the local and global economies of tomorrow.
