Welcome
Welcome
Welcome to the RPA “We Are One” Counseling Department located in the Glacier Building and virtually during Comprehensive Distance Learning. We welcome all students and parents to seek assistance from our counseling office when they are in need of help.
RPA’s counselors assist students who are struggling with a variety of emotional and mental health concerns. Working with students individually or in groups, school counselors help students address barriers to their well being and to promote growth. School counselors help identify students who are struggling, connect families with outside mental health support, and intervene in a crisis. RPA’s counselors are available on an appointment basis for students and their families, please email, text, or call to connect with your counselor. School counselors continue to be available to support students and families during these unique and often stressful times.
