When to Contact a School Counselor or School Social Worker?

When to Contact a School Counselor or School Social Worker?

Family members who are concerned about their child’s behavior, emotional adjustment, or peer relationships at school are encouraged to contact the school counselor or school social worker.

Families concerned about their child’s academic progress are encouraged to set up a meeting with their child’s teacher(s). Family members may request the school counselor or school social worker participate in the meeting.
