why is school counseling necessary?

  1. Students learn best when they feel good about themselves and their relationships with others.
  2. When a child has a solid understanding of his emotions, he is better able to control his feelings.
  3. We encourage our students to be independent and responsible for themselves.
  4. When schools, parents, and students all collaborate together, the result is an effective support of the child.
  5. Attitudes that form during the school-aged years shape the future attitudes towards self-efficacy, learning, and society.

How you can help this month!

Parent Needs Assessment

Parent Needs Assessment

Parents, please take a quick moment to fill out the Parent Needs Assessment survey. It only takes a couple of minutes, and the results will help me to define the counseling program so that it assesses the needs of OUR campus.


Use your camera or a QR Code reader to access the survey. (Ask your kid for help if necessary!)
