Office Hours and Services
The
school counselors provide individual counseling related to a variety of
emotional, social, and academic issues. They frequently collaborate
with other professionals such as the school social worker, school
nurse, and school psychologist in order to assess students' needs in a
comprehensive manner and for the purpose of effective and efficient
response to student concerns. The school counselors desire to help
students develop their talents and interests via the academic
experience while gaining an understanding of themselves.
In addition
to offering individual counseling, school counselors advise students
regarding course selections, promotion standards, and
graduation requirements while assisting with post-high school planning
and preparation. Resources in Student Services include college
applications, college guidebooks, financial aid applications,
scholarship search tips, information on a wide variety of careers, and
SAT/ACT registration packets. Students may visit the resource area
before or after school and during lunch.
The Office of Student
Services operates from 8:30 a.m. - 3:50 p.m. each day; students see
their counselor by appointment except in emergency, crisis situations,
or during lunch. Students are welcome to drop by the counseling office
any time during a non-core class without an appointment, but there is
no guarantee their counselor will be available to see them. Parents
should call the office to make an appointment when they want to meet
with their child's counselor or if they would like to schedule a
parent/teacher conference.
Parents may also call the office to request work if their child will be out of school for more than two days.
