Counselor Appointments After the first two days of schools, counselors are
available to meet with students.
Students can make appointments by coming to Student Services before school or during lunch to sign up to see their counselor and receive a pass. Students are also able to drop-in without an appointment if their counselor is available.
Students can see their counselor to discuss their courses, academic difficulties, personal/social issues, and for post-secondary planning.

All students will be assigned to an Advisory, which they will remain in for all 4 years.
Advisory will run for 35 minutes, and students will have 55 minutes of Eagle Time to see any of their teachers for remediation, to make up work, or get assistance.
For students who are doing well in their classes there will be, on occasion, optional workshops and activities for them to participate in, or they can use the time to work on homework.
