Connecting with School Based Supports

The support staff listed below are available to students on a daily basis.  If you feel your student is in need of additional support, please contact your child’s school counselor.  The school counselor will work with you to determine what resources would best benefit your student. Counselors can connect families to school or community based resources.  

School support staff can be reached by calling your child’s school or via ParentSquare. Click on each school's name to reach their Counseling homepage.
