GUIDANCE DEPARTMENT
The school counselors and other guidance workers offer you, as well as your parents and teachers, the opportunity for conferences to assist in planning your present and future progress. It is our hope that these personnel will be fully utilized by you, your parents and teachers. If at any time you wish to see your counselor, come to the Guidance Suite before 7:51 in the morning and get a pass from your counselor. If your counselor is not available, fill out the "Counselor Conference Request" form and give it to the guidance secretary. Please follow the above procedure and you will avoid being disappointed when you want to see your counselor.
The school counselor protects the confidentiality of information received in the counseling process as specified by law and ethical standards. School counselors are to inform the appropriate authorities when a counselee's condition indicates a clear and imminent danger to the counselee or others. This is to be done after careful deliberation and, where possible, after consultation with other professionals.The State of Connecticut requires that school personnel, including counselors, report child abuse, child neglect, suspected child abuse and/or a child under 13 with venereal disease to the Connecticut Department of Children and Families.
