Informational Services - a great deal of information on occupations, post high school educational opportunities, and information relating to financial aid is available. CHOICES, a computer system of information, is also available for students to explore careers, colleges, and financial planning. Students are encouraged to use these resources and to discuss any information and/or questions with their counselor. Referrals - students may be referred to other agencies or counselors or individuals that can aid or facilitate a resolution to particular problems that may exist, such as health or social-emotional problems. Counselors will work with parents in this referral process. Students and parents are encouraged to both utilize the guidance office resources and meet with their counselor to discuss any issues of concern. Computer time is available to parents to explore the CHOICES program. |
