School Counseling Services
Kingsway Regional School District’s school counseling office offers an array of direct and indirect services for students in grades 7-12 throughout the school year. Direct services include services in which counselors directly interact with students. Indirect services include indirect organization and facilitation of meetings and resources with school and community stakeholders.
Direct and indirect services are facilitated by School Counselors, who are primarily involved with college preparation, career exploration, and Tier I wellness support. Wellness Counselors are also available to assist students and families and are primarily involved with Tier II & Tier III wellness support.

Student Chromebooks: Expectations for the 2022-23 School Year
Our 1:1 Chromebook initiative supports student learning in and outside of the classroom. The district-issued device is part of each student's necessary classroom supplies, similar to a pencil, book, or paper. All students are expected to attend every class, every day prepared with a fully charged, district-issued Chromebook with the charging cord. We highly recommend designating a location in your home for the device to charge at night and to be easily placed in the student's backpack in the morning. Click here for more information related to our Chromebook expectations.
