SERVICES OFFERED

Services include college, career, individual, and academic counseling, course selection, 4 year planning, scheduling, financial aid guidance, grade reporting services, goal setting, interest/aptitude/PSAT/SAT/ACT Testing, family referrals, and college and scholarship application processing. School counselors are also trained to work with students individually, in small groups, and in classroom settings to assist students, parents, and faculty in dealing with crisis situations, interpersonal concerns, and making referrals to the Student Support Team, Committee on Special Education, and other community agencies. *Students are encouraged to make appointments as needed.
School Psychologists
School psychologists have specialized competencies in assessment, remediation strategies, and research. They provide help in the areas of understanding the learning process, interpersonal relationships, and the dynamics of personality. Within the schools, psychologists serve as consultants and diagnosticians in regards to behavior and the educational management of the individual child’s learning situation.

The school social worker serves as an advocate, liaison, coordinator, case manager, and consultant for students, parents, school staff, and community agency personnel.
