How Do You Meet With Your Counselor?

All students in grades 9-12 are assigned to their counselor by their last name.

Students:   You can drop in at brunch or lunch to speak with your counselor briefly.  Otherwise, please visit the main office and fill out an appointment request form or you can email your counselor to request a meeting.

Parents: Please call/e-mail your student’s counselor to schedule an appointment.  We do not take drop in meetings.  If you have concerns about your student’s performance in a specific class, please contact your student’s teacher first.
