Counseling

School Counselors are available to support students and families on matters ranging from day-to-day problems to more serious concerns related to school and/or home. Parents are encouraged to make use of this service as the need arises. School Counselors also conduct periodic parent education and support programs. We encourage all parents to attend these programs.

The school may, at appropriate times, recommend that a family or child (with parents’ knowledge) use the services of a School Counselor. Parents may also reach out to seek consultation or support for their child. School Counselors do not provide long-term ongoing therapy within the school setting but work closely with families to find outside services when needed. School Counselors may also meet with groups of students to help resolve friendship or social issues or consult with teachers regarding ways to strengthen the classroom community. School Counselors work closely with parents, faculty, and administration to support students’ social-emotional needs.
