Student Services

School Counselors are assigned at each school to provide on-site services and essential student services coordination. Counselors provide developmental, preventative, and responsive direct services to students through individual and group counseling, group guidance, academic and career planning, student assessment, and consultation, referral, and follow-up. Indirect services include the coordination of support services within the system and from outside agencies, assisting teachers integrating guidance goals into classroom instruction, and consultation and collaboration within schools, with parents and the community to address students’ needs.

Appointments with Counselors-Students who visit the counselor, other than those with scheduled appointment slips, must obtain a note from their subject teacher. Appointments may be made by requesting a referral from a teacher, the secretary, or a counselor. If a counselor is unavailable, the secretary will send the student back to class and notify the counselor that the student needed to be seen. Because of the heavy schedule of student services personnel, appointments may need to be made several days in advance for non-emergency matters.
