Making an Appointment with the School Counselor

Students should meet with their counselor regularly throughout the year.  Students can arrange a meeting with their school counselor by going to the Guidance Office and requesting an appointment from Mrs. Anderson, the Guidance Secretary.  In the event of a situation where a counselor is needed immediately, Mrs. Anderson can locate the counselor.  It is important to keep all appointments that are scheduled, whether they are arranged by the student or the counselor.  Parents may also arrange to meet with the school counselor by calling Mrs. Anderson at 265-3636 to make an appointment.
