Parents & Guardians,
You have questions and I am here to help! As our school's counselor, it is my job to not
only support our students, but their parents and guardians,
too. Check out my website for the answers to some of the
most common questions that I get from parents and guardians
and to learn more about the services I provide as a school counselor. If you would like to
set up a meeting to discuss your child's education, please contact me and I would be glad to set up an appointment for you. While I am sometimes available on the spot, it is best if you make an appointment. I look forward to
working with you! See you soon! -Mrs. Johnson
