Counseling Connection Newsletter - weekly news, opportunities and information
The student services department encourages and appreciates parental involvement and input, and will coordinate parent conferences with classroom teachers. A counselor will frequently request appointments with students to discuss academic or social concerns.
- Students wishing to talk with a counselor should stop by the counseling office before school or during lunch to request an appointment.
- All information you or your child tells the counselor remains confidential with the counselor unless there is potential harm to your child or others.
- We look forward to working with you this year. If you have any questions or concerns about your child, please do not hesitate to call us.
