School Counseling/Registration
CONTACT YOUR COUNSELOR
-
Got a quick question? The quickest way to contact a counselor is by email.
Need a meeting? The counseling office uses an online platform to schedule meetings.
To schedule an appointment with your school counselor, click on their calendly link below. This is for both in person and virtual students (virtual students will meet through their student account and microsoft Teams). Note: Try to schedule an appointment during an elective, not a core class. Your confirmation email will be used as your pass to leave class and come to the counseling office. Please let your teacher know you have an appointment with your counselor (idea- forward or send a copy of the confirmation email to the teacher!). Then, bring your chromebook with you to the meeting.
If you are at school, in distress and need to speak with someone, then please come to the counseling office. Be sure to let your teacher know.
If you are in virtual school, in distress and need to speak with someone, then email your academy counselor or call 865-690-9690 and ask to be connected with the counseling office.
