Welcome to the new Palmerton High School Guidance Website!
The Palmerton School District Counselors acknowledge that students at all stages of growth and development exhibit needs that can be met through a formal guidance plan. In response to these needs, the guidance plan is designed to meet a wide range of academic, career and personal/social needs. By meeting the various needs of the student throughout their K-12 education, we will be preparing them for their future to be lifelong learners.
FROM THE GUIDANCE OFFICE
WAYS WE CAN HELP
From time to time, we can all use a little help. Listed below are some ways that the guidance office can assist you or your child. These programs are available at any time throughout the school year, no matter when the need arises. Your participation in any of these programs will be kept confidential. If you are interested in any of these programs, please contact your child’s guidance counselor.
CLOTHES CLOSET – Over the past few years, we have received many donations of gently used clothing of all types and sizes. This clothing has been organized into a clothes closet and is available to any of our students.
SCHOOL SUPPLIES – We can provide your child with everything they would need to be successful in school (bookbags, folders, notebooks, pens, pencils, highlighters, etc.)
BACKPACK PROGRAM – Participants in this program receive an extra supply of food that is distributed in a filled backpack approximately every 2 weeks to help supplement their pantry. (Items may include cereal, soup, canned goods etc.)
HEALTH & HYGIENE – We can provide your child with a variety of health and hygiene products including soap, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, and feminine hygiene products.
JOB POSTINGS – If your child is looking for a part-time job, have them check out the postings in the hall outside of the guidance office.
