Telehealth Space

We have been able to work with students to provide private space when meeting virtually with outside providers during the past school year.  Unfortunately, we have limited space and can no longer accommodate private telehealth appointments.  We are sharing this change now to give families time to adjust with outside providers.

Rising Senior Summer Bucket List

Attention Rising Seniors who would like to get a jump start on their future planning work prior the school year starting.  Please see the flyer linked here with a checklist of tasks you can complete.

Add/Drop Period

The add/drop period provides students the opportunity to make changes to their schedule.  Add/drop starts on the first day of school. The end date it still to be determined, however is approximately within the first 10 days of school.

On the first two days of school, counselors will have walk-in appointments only.  Students should come to the Counseling Office during the period of the class they would like to change.  Once we return from the Labor Day holiday, students will need to set up an appointment through Bookings with their counselor to make schedule changes.
