Dear FRHSD Parents & Guardians,
We hope that this message finds you and your family well. Please know that the counselors in your child’s high school are here to assist and support students socially, emotionally, and academically.
Feel free to contact your child’s counselor, Student Assistance Coordinator (SAC), or Supervisor of Guidance & Counseling should you have any questions related to the well-being of your child.
