How does a student see a counselor?
If a student would like to see a counselor, he/she should ask a teacher for a pass to go to the counseling office. Unless the student has an urgent need to see a counselor, the teacher may recommend a specific time for the student to leave class, so that the student does not miss too much important academic information. Additionally, a student is welcome to see his/her counselor during lunchtime.
When the student arrives in the counseling office, the student may select the counselor he/she wishes to see based on an established rapport and/or availability. Students will be seen immediately whenever possible. If the counselors are not available, the student
may write his/her name on the counselor’s dry-erase board as a request for the counselor to send for him/her when possible.
