Appointments

Counselors are available to meet with students throughout the school day. Students should use the sign up sheets on the Counselors' doors to request a meeting with his or her Counselor. In addition, individual appointments are set up by the Counselors to meet with every student at least once during the school year. This appointment typically takes place during the scheduling season, February through April, and parents of Sophomore students are invited to participate in this advisement meeting.

Counselors are also available to meet with parents when a need arises. Parents are asked to contact their Counselor in advance and schedule an appointment with their student's Counselor.
