Office Hours
While the Strongsville City Schools are in Remote Learning 2.0, I will have office hours on Friday afternoons from 1:00-3:00.
Ethically speaking, in the elementary grades the parent is the client because the child is a minor. In an effort to continue school counseling services, remain ethical, and meet the requirements of the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) of 2000 I would like to suggest that when we meet that you are present during the meeting as we are communicating electronically.
When requesting a meeting, and this meeting could be just to say hello, please email me and I will schedule a time and send you an invite for my Google Classroom. Thank you.
