FRESHMAN YEAR
Why should I visit the counseling office?
​
* Scheduling
* Personal Concerns
* College & Career Planning
​
To make an appointment with your counselor, please use the QR code that is posted around the school to fill out an appointment request. If you can't access the QR code, you can get to the appointment request via your bookmarks on your Chromebook. You only need to sign up once and we will get to you as soon as we can. When it is time for your appointment you will receive a pass from your classroom teacher. This pass will dismiss you from class to see your counselor.
Confidentiality:

What is said in the school counseling office stays confidential unless you or someone else is being hurt.
