Where is the school counseling office?
The Counseling Office is located in C building, in rooms C-3, C-4, C-5. In our offices, you will find Ms. McNeff and Ms.Perrin, school counselors, Ms. Barney, our registrar/counseling assistant, and twice a week, and Ms. May our School Social Worker. We also have a Wellness Room in I -4, with our Student Support Facilitator, Ms. Saltamachio.
Why visit or contact the counseling office?
You may need help with your Aeries account, want to check your grades, or visit when you or a friend may need support. Come by and say hello - we encourage students to come in to ask questions and get to know the counseling office when you are on campus!
How can a counselor help you or a friend?
You have a counselor at Oak Crest and will also have a counselor when you attend high school. Counselors are here to listen and provide support. The sooner you reach out to a counselor when something is bothering you, the quicker you will be able to solve the problem because you have the counseling support and resources to help you.
Some examples of what a counselor can help with are: "What classes should I take?" "I need help in knowing how to improve my grades," “I want to find out about high school or college,” "I'm nervous about talking with my teacher," "My friends and I are arguing, and I can't focus because of it," "I'm feeling stressed about things going on at home and school," “I’m worried about a friend,” I’m feeling like I don’t fit in.”
How do I see my counselor?
When on campus, you can drop in before school, at nutrition break, lunch, and/or after school.
If a counselor is unavailable, any staff member in the office can assist in getting the immediate help you may need.
You can ask your teacher to come to the counseling office.

Personal/social/behavior concerns
Future academic planning
A few examples:
"My son used to be excited about school but now he just doesn't seem to care," "My daughter seems to be the target of some teasing and bullying at school - can you help?" "I have seen changes in my child's behavior at home and I'm worried," "What level English/math should my child take in middle school?" "What can I do now to best prepare my child for high school?"
How do I contact my child's counselor?
Michelle McNeff and Krystal Perrin, counselors, can be reached by phone, email or by scheduling an appointment (click here for contact information).
If a student has a 504 Plan or IEP, the counselor (504) or case manager (IEP) can help address concerns.
