Counseling Office
-
Our school counseling program is a vital part of the education process. We provide a comprehensive and developmental setting in which students are a priority and the school counselor is an advocate. This entails the counseling program and counselors addressing and promoting academic, career, and social/emotional development of each and every student.
Confidentiality
The foundation of the student/counselor relationship is trust. Therefore, all information shared from the student to the counselor will remain confidential. The only exceptions to this are:
- if there is clear and present danger to the student or others
- if the student consents to it
- if this information is required by a court of law
Counseling Resources
Valley Southwoods students are automatically added to a Canvas course that provides more information on Naviance, social emotional learning, mental health resources, and guidance when registering for courses at Valley High School.
