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.

Interested In Being a Career Speaker for KRHS
In an ongoing effort to expose our students to a variety of careers and career pathways, Kingsway Regional High School is soliciting interest in volunteers from the community to come in and speak to interested students about their profession. Your visit will be advertised to the whole student body and interested students who sign up will receive a pass to attend your presentation on an agreed-upon day and time. If you have completed this form in a previous year, please complete it again as we start a fresh list each year. Your offer to share your experience, expertise, and time is very much appreciated!
South Media Center Open After School
The South Media Center is now open for students after school. The SMC is open Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday until 4:00pm. Students can sign in after school at the South Media Center. This is a time for students to work on homework/projects and to meet teachers for additional 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. Establishing this routine from "Day 1" is critical. Click here for more information related to our Chromebook expectations.
