*If you have academic or emotional concerns, and are in need of resources, please contact the Guidance Counselor for a list of psychologists and counselors.  When evaluation is required to assess special needs, the guidance counselor coordinates communication between the school and outside agencies.  Parents should forward all evaluation forms to be completed by the school to the guidance counselor who will distribute them to the teachers.  After these forms have been completed, the guidance counselor will forward them to the outside agency.  The school requests that a copy of the final evaluation be sent to the guidance office.  In order to keep a student’s diagnosis and accommodations current, evaluations are required to be updated every three years. The guidance counselor keeps all records confidential.
