How to schedule an appointment with me: Students are encouraged to make an appointment with me for homeroom, the study half of their lunch or for before school or afterschool How does a student get a pass or appointment to Guidance? The best way for a student to come see me is by attaining a pass the day before the requested appointment or before school the day of the requested appointment. Students are also welcome to email me at ChElliott@darienps.org at any time to ask for a pass. It is generally a good idea for a student to attain a pass first before coming to Guidance. However, there are often times when something arises that needs to be dealt with right away and there is no way of having prior knowledge. In that case, teachers are very understanding of emergencies and will give students a pass to come in or the teacher can call me at ext. 3219 to let me know the student is on his/her way. It is important for a teacher to know the whereabouts of a student that they are supposed to have during that period of time. Emergencies do arise and in those cases I will make sure that the teacher becomes aware that the student is with me.
