ACADEMICS : GUIDANCE

Dan Schwartz, Guidance Counselor

A School Guidance Counselor is available to confer with students in areas that may extend beyond academic matters. Students may meet with the counselor on a weekly, bi-weekly, or per required need basis. Students have access to the counselor through parent request, teacher request, or through student request. A student may see the counselor once prior to parental consent to resolve emotional disruption, behavioral concern, or peer conflict. Any further or regular visits require written parental consent.
