A Counselor or School Counselor is available to assist you with any academic or personal problems at your new school.

Counselors actively support student achievement through an annual comprehensive counseling plan, ensuring every student receives necessary counseling services. During registration, they assess your transcript to determine what grade level you will join!

You can approach them during the school day by visiting the School Counseling or Guidance office and letting them know you need assistance.

Conversations with a Counselor are confidential, except in cases involving harm to yourself or others or instances of abuse, where they may need to include others to ensure your safety.

Confidentiality means they won't share your information with anyone else.

Additionally, they offer resources for staff, students, families, and others to establish a family-friendly environment and ensure a safe school climate conducive to academic and social/emotional growth. Here are some of the ways how:

Career Development Success: Counselors guide students in making informed decisions about their future careers by providing resources and support.
Academic Success: Counselors work closely with students to enhance study skills, time management, and overall academic performance.
Personal and Social-Emotional Success: Programs focus on personal and social-emotional well-being, helping students navigate challenges and maintain positive mental health.
Life Skills & Wellness: Counselors prioritize developing essential life skills, including communication, decision-making, and overall wellness.
Recovery Services (Wellness & Recovery): Counselors provide support and resources for students facing challenges, fostering a compassionate and understanding environment for well-being and recovery.

If you have concerns, feel free to discuss them with your Counselor. For more information on school counseling services, visit the BCPS School Counseling website at https://www.browardschools.com/schoolcounseling
