How to Request Support for Your Child

There are three ways a student may be referred for counseling support:

1. A student may ask to see the counselor

2. A teacher or staff member may make a referral

3. A parent/guardian may request support

To request counseling support, you can:

• Email the school counselor

• Call the school office

• Request a referral form from the main office

Once a referral is received:
• The concern is reviewed
• Teachers may be consulted
• Parent/guardian may be contacted
• A support plan is developed
