Counseling

 The School Counselor provides both individual and group counseling for 
academic support, social and emotional development and career awareness. 

 At each grading quarter, students having academic difficulty, will meet 
with their counselor to discuss strategies for improvement.  Counselors may, 
at times, contact parents and teachers for a conference in order to discuss 
academic and/or behavior plans.  

 Students will receive a pre-signed pass for any appointments to the 
Guidance Office. Students are strongly encouraged to make an appointment 
with their respective counselor to discuss their particular need. Emergency 
counseling is available with a telephone call from a teacher or from an 
administrator. A student may also be referred to the School Psychologist, 
when warranted and parents will be contacted.

 The Counselor is the student's advocate and is available to assist both the 
child and the parent in obtaining  successful resolution of difficultiies, 
that face a middle school-age child.  They collaborate and plan with all 
adults in the buildiing, who may include the Nurse, the School Psychologist, 
the Administrators, Teachers and other Support Staff, to assure your child's 
success.

 Parent's may contact their child's counselor if they would like an 
intervention or counseling support.
