How to Make an Appointment

Student Drop-In Hours

School counselors are available for student drop-ins before school, during lunch, and after school. 

Schedule a Student Appointment

Students may request an appointment by: 

  • Stopping by the Counseling Office, or 

  • Emailing the Counseling Secretaries

School counselors make every effort to meet with students within 1-3 school days of a request, or as soon as possible if the student indicates they are in crisis. 

Schedule a Parent/Guardian Appointment

Parent and guardian drop-in meetings are not available. Please schedule an appointment in advance. To meet with your student's school counselor, contact our counseling secretaries by phone or email.
