West High School Counseling Office Information: 

 

Why visit the school counseling office?

• Personal reasons or concern for others/confidentiality. Our goal is to help students. Students are encouraged to see their counselor with any concern.

To see your counselor, please sign up for an appointment in the school counseling office (clipboards on the front table). This may be done before or after school, during lunch or during passing times. On the day of your scheduled appointment you will receive a pass from your classroom teacher. This pass will dismiss you from class to see your counselor. Please remember the date and time you signed up for and remind your teacher to give you the pass. Appointments are always for the next day, unless you have an emergency.
