Request to a see a school counselor

How to Request to See a School Counselor

Our goal is to assist students and families in a timely fashion. A parent/guardian who wishes to meet with a school counselor may schedule an appointment by calling or e-mailing the counselor. Students can request to see a school counselor by completing the Meet with Counseling Form. They can also scan the QR code posted in various locations throughout the school. School counselors will see students in order of the request received and will send a pass to class to see the student. 

School counselors send students messages through student's APS gmail account and/or their StudentVUE, so it is imperative that students are checking their emails daily.
