You have your own guidance counselor, but your guidance counselor has approximately 300 other counselees with whom they are working. Counselors will set up appointments to see you throughout the school year and they will see you as many times as they can. If an academic or personal issue should present itself and you would like to discuss the issue with your counselor, please don’t wait until your counselor schedules you for a regular meeting. Sign up to see your counselor.
Below is some more information that will help you take advantage of the guidance & counseling services available to you.
If you want to schedule an appointment with your guidance counselor, please fill out an appointment sheet in homeroom, in the lobby of the Guidance Office or you can email your counselor. In most cases, your counselor will schedule an appointment for the next day. However, if you have a personal crisis, please ask your teacher to give you a pass to the Guidance Office.
On the day of your appointment, your homeroom teacher will give you a pass. PLEASE NOTICE YOUR APPOINTMENT TIME AND REMEMBER IT. Always report to class before seeing the counselor. On some days, it may be necessary for your teacher to keep you in class for a test or special project. If this happens, see your counselor, as soon as your teacher will let you. When you arrive in the Guidance Office, please sign in there is a clipboard right on the table and have a seat. The secretary will let you know when the counselor is ready for you.
