Counselors + Student Support = One Team
Counselors do not work in isolation. They collaborate with teachers, administrators, families, mental-health staff, social workers, behavior support, restorative practices, MTSS teams, and community partners to address barriers to learning and support student success.
When academic, attendance, behavioral, social-emotional, or career concerns overlap, the team works together to identify the right level of support and monitor progress.
Focus areas include academic habits, course planning, transition planning, self-advocacy, social-emotional development, attendance, behavior, and early exploration of interests and future pathways.
Focus areas include credits and graduation progress, course planning, college and career readiness, postsecondary planning, employment and training pathways, attendance, academic interventions, and transition planning.
Families can partner with counselors to discuss academic progress, scheduling, graduation planning, career and college goals, attendance concerns, student adjustment, and connections to additional school or community support.
You do not have to figure it out alone.
Talk with a teacher, Student Support team member, administrator, social worker, or another adult you trust.
You can ask for help with stress, relationships, attendance, academics, behavior, family concerns, grief, or mental health.
The Student Support team can help identify next steps and connect you with school or community resources.
Support can include follow-up, progress monitoring, skill-building, and adjustments when needs change.
