School Counselor

A child seldom needs a good talking to as a good listening to.  ~Robert Brault

   

What is a school counselor?

Parents, the press, administrators and the general public often wonder just what it is that school counselors do on a daily basis. Gone are the days of school counselors sitting in their office simply handing out college applications, making schedule changes for students who want to drop a class or meeting with the troublemakers in the school. Today's school counselors are vital members of the education team. They help all students in the areas of academic achievement, personal/social development and career development, ensuring today's students become the productive, well-adjusted adults of tomorrow. Learn more about the school counselor's role.

To request counseling for your child, please fill out this form and send it to school in a sealed envelope.

 

While we try to teach our children all about life,
Our children teach us what life is all about.
