If you feel that your child needs extra support with social, emotional, or academic skills in school, or if you feel there may be external or internal factors that are impeding your child's ability to focus and learn, then counseling may be beneficial for your child. 

You may contact your child's teacher, or Mrs. Woodbury directly. The custodial parent will be provided with a permission form to be signed and returned. Mrs. Woodbury will then set up an intake appointment and determine if your child needs to meet regularly for counseling.

Meetings may happen before, during or after school depending on your child's and/or the counselor's availability. Counseling may be provided in an individual or group setting.

Please note that all school-based counselors are bound ethically to keep confidential all information revealed in the course of a counseling session, except when the counselor determines the student is in danger of harm to him or herself or to a specified other, at which point the school counselor will notify the student's parent/guardian and appropriate school personnel, as necessary.  

Counseling is meant to help students be ready and able to focus, learn, be safe and have fun in school. 

If their needs go beyond the scope of what school counseling can offer, other resources are available under the "Parent Resources".
