The Counseling Department offers the following services:
• Individual Counseling
• Group Counseling
• Classroom Guidance
• Academic & Career Planning

ParentVUE is a great way to communicate with your child’s teachers and check the status of his/her academic progress. You may use the same ParentVUE login that has been used in the previous school year. If you do not have access to ParentVUE, please contact your child’s counselor.
