CONFIDENTIALITY & PRIVACY

Meetings between a student and their school counselor are confidential. The student's right to privacy is guarded as much as permitted by law, ethics, and school policy.  

All meetings held with the counselor will remain confidential unless the student or parent gives permission to share information with related parties.  

We respect the rights of confidentiality of personal information disclosed during the course of a conversation between ourselves and students, except in the following cases: 

• If the student presents a danger to him/herself.

• If a student shares information about someone else who may be in danger or a danger to others. 

• If the student presents a danger to others.

• If the student has been neglected or abused by others.

• If required to do so by court order.

• If the parent or adult student gives permission for the information to be shared.
