Who should you contact?
 

Parents/Guardians who have a general counseling question or concern, should contact your child’s counselor via phone or email.  Contact information can be found above.  Counselors check their email and phone messages regularly and will generally respond the same day, or within 24 hours. Should you wish to meet with your child’s counselor, please call or email to schedule an appointment.

 

Students who wish to meet with their counselor should choose from the following:

  • For quick questions and minor concerns stop by before or after school.
  • For questions or concerns that may take more time to address please stop by the counseling suite and request an appointment. You will be asked when you would like to meet with your counselor – choose the class wisely that you wish to be called from.  You are responsible for whatever instruction or assignment you miss.
  • Tutorial appointments can be made, but they should be scheduled before homeroom.  
  • A student who needs immediate attention due to a serious concern can walk in at anytime.

 

If you have a question about your child’s grade in a course. please contact the teacher directly.  Email addresses and phone extensions can be located in the Staff Directory under HS Personnel located in the maroon banner directly above.
