Student counseling services are provided by both School Counselors and Mental Health Specialists.  These services may include individual and/or group sessions which are targeted to enhance a child’s academic success and overall mental health.  

School Counselors and Mental Health Specialists collaborate with all relevant stakeholders.  This includes students, parents/guardians, and educators in order to identify early warning signs of student distress.  These staff members have a primary obligation to the students, who are treated with dignity and respect as unique individuals.  Our School Counselors and Mental Health Specialists aim to provide support to students and to their families in obtaining outside services if the need presents itself.  The parent/guardian role is vital to the success of each student, and this is acknowledged by our staff. 

Contact a School Counselor or Mental Health Specialist if you believe your child may be in need of academic and/or behavioral/social-emotional support.  They will collaborate with you to determine a plan to move forward.  Visit the Community Resources below for additional support.
