Counseling Office

General information:
Located in the main office, the counseling office is a place where students and families can request help to remove barriers to learning.  The focus is the academic, social-emotional, and personal wellness of each student so that he or she can be the best learner they can be.    

Highlights:
As a part of the school student support team, the school counselor provides:  

• Small group counseling focused on individual needs such as anxiety, grief and loss, anger management, friendship, social skills and more     

• Parental and caregiver support, including resource referral and guidance

• Brief, solution focused individual counseling for students

• Mental health and substance use care coordination for ALL students, staff, and families connected to our school 24 hours a day / 365 days a year on behalf of schools for our students, staff, and families.
