Who sees the Counselor?

Students may see the counselor for help with their concerns – friendship, bullying, academics, and more. Teachers consult with the counselor on guidance activities, individual student concerns, and behavior management strategies. Parents see the counselor for many reasons related to their children – academics, social concerns, transitions, parenting challenges, or for community referrals. The counselor offers support and encouragement for the most important job of all – parenting.
