During the school closures, school counselors are available to consult with parents, students and teachers. Please reach out via email to your child's school counselor if you would like to speak with them directly. If you leave a voicemail it directly transfers to the counselor's email, so that they can return your call in a timely fashion.
Under ordinary conditions during the school year the school counselor is available to consult with students, staff, outside agencies, and parents concerning a variety of matters that affect academic, social, or emotional growth. The social worker, and psychologists, work with the school counselor to provide a seamless flow of services. He/she also provides direct instruction in classrooms on a variety of topics and leads important student activities such as Community Service Programs, FISH (Families in Separate Homes), Friendship, Stress and various Social Skill Groups.
