Counseling

 

Counseling Website-HERE

Support services are available for every student in the school. These services include:

  • help with academic planning

  • career and occupational information

  • study organization skills

  • help with home, school, and/or social concerns

  • any questions the student may feel he/she would like to discuss with the counselor. 

If a student needs to meet with a counselor, the student may ask a teacher for permission or stop by during lunch.

While all of Lamar’s counselors proceed with appropriate action based on their professional judgment, they do not provide on-going therapy. If the counselor identifies a student in need of on-going services, the counselor will contact the parents with appropriate referrals.
