General Statements

Many students benefit from working with a counselor to help resolve issues with other students, friends, teachers, siblings, etc. This service is provided by the school district during school hours at no cost to parents. Because it is sometimes uncomfortable for parents or students to utilize these services at school, the counselor is willing to help make referrals to other agencies and individuals who provide this service at minimal cost to families.

Individual and small group counseling is provided to students at student, parent, teacher or other staff member request. All information is confidential and is not released except by permission of the student or parent. A variety of concerns may be addressed, depending on need. Students are always encouraged to talk with parents, and the counselor is always willing to aid in that discussion if requested to do so. Information that involves the welfare of students may be released as directed by law to appropriate agencies.

Parents are always a key part of any successful counseling. I welcome the opportunity to discuss concerns.

Please do not hesitate to contact the school if you would like your child to talk to the counselor.
