 COUNSELING

Academic Counseling

 Students are encouraged to talk with a school counselor, teachers, and principals in order to learn about the curriculum, course offerings, graduation requirements, and differences between graduation programs.  All students in grades 7-12 and their parents will be notified annually about the recommended courses for students preparing to attend college.  Students who are interested in attending a college, university, or training school should work closely with their counselor to best prepare them for further work.  The counselor can also provide information about entrance examinations required by many colleges and universities, as well as information about financial aid and housing.

 To plan for the future, including attendance at a college, university, or training school or pursuing some other type of advanced education, students should work closely with the counselor in order to take the high school courses that best prepare them.  The counselor can also provide information about entrance exams and deadlines for application, as well as information about automatic admission to state colleges and universities, financial aid, housing, and scholarships. 

 Personal Counseling

 The school counselor is available to assist students with a wide range of concerns, including such areas as social, family, emotional, academic, or chemical dependency needs.  The counselor may also make available information about community resources to address personal concerns.  Students who wish to meet with the counselor should make an appointment in the guidance office.

 Please note:  The school will not conduct a psychological examination, test, or treatment without first obtaining the parent’s written consent, unless required by state or federal law for special education purposes.  [For more information, refer to policy FFE.
