All students have access to counseling support on an as needed individual basis and through monthly school-wide SEL lessons that focus on relevant social-emotional topics and mental health. Students may reach out to their counselor via an office visit, email or Schoology message. Parents, we invite you to reach out to us at any time should you have any questions or concerns. We are here for you, too!
We hope you have experienced a smooth transition back to school. Best wishes for a great school year!
