Counselors meet with students in small groups to discuss their academic progress and program.
Counselors meet with students individually to address a number of transition issues; peer relations, attendance, grades, school clubs and activities.
Counselors meet with the academic teams daily. Parents are encouraged to call their child’s counselor to schedule meetings with team teachers or to discuss any concerns they may have.
