Who is my student's counselor?
Mrs. Bracamonte
is the 7th grade counselor, and Mrs. Clark is our 8th grade counselor.
What do students have to do to see their counselor?
Students need only obtain a pass from one of their teachers in
order to see the counselor. Once in the office, they sign-in
at Mrs. Pfaff's desk. If the counselor is unavailable at that
time, the student will be called down later. Students may drop
in before or after school without a pass.
What are some of the reasons a student comes to see
the counselor?
Students may see the counselor for academic reasons, (problem
with their schedule, difficulty in a class, problem with a teacher),
personal reasons, (conflict with another student, problem between
friends, stress, family problems), in short , anything that might
interfere with a student doing his or her job at school is a
reason to come to the Guidance Department.
What other services are offered?
The Guidance Department provides student support groups
on various topics that students may sign up for on a voluntary
basis. Topics include, but are not limited to, academic problems,
divorce and separation, grief and loss, anger management, and
others as needed. In addition, the counselors from time to time
present lessons in various classes that address some of the skills
that students need to be successful.The counselors will make
referrals to outside agencies for on-going counseling or other
services as may be necessary and appropriate.
