Guidance Services
Career Planning
School Counselors are available to assist students with researching information about specific careers. An ID number for the DISCOVER program, an online career exploration program, is provided to students each year. The DISCOVER program can be accessed at www.act.org/discover/login.
Course Selection
School Counselors meet individually with students each spring to discuss course selections for the coming year.
Continuing Education/College Planning
From the time students begin high school as a freshman they are building a transcript that may eventually be sent to a post secondary school to which a student may want to attend after graduation. One of the functions of the Guidance Office is to assist students in researching different options in terms of further training and then taking the necessary steps to pursue those options.
Completing Applications
Assistance is provided as needed with post secondary school applications, scholarship applications, as well as job applications.
Scheduling
The Guidance Office plays a large part in student scheduling, from initially handing out the materials to being available prior to the start of each school year to address any schedule concerns.
Individual Counseling
The School Counselors are available to assist students with individual personal problems they may be experiencing.
Conflict Resolution
School Counselors regularly handle conflicts between students and between students and teachers to try to resolve issues before they become disciplinary matters.
Course Failures
School Counselors address course failures with students and may suggest tutoring or any other resources that may be helpful.
Student Assistance Program
Both School Counselors participate in the SAP Program. SAP is a program by which parents, students, and school personnel can refer someone they are concerned about, have information gathered, and appropriate support provided through a team approach. In addition to the School Counselors, other trained members include teachers, the nurse, and a liaison from both the Mental Health and Drug and Alcohol agencies in Bedford.
