School Counselor Appointment Procedures for Students
The counselors enjoy working with students on a one-on-one basis. We encourage students to meet their counselor early on in their high school career and build a relationship with them.
If you would like to speak with your counselor, you will need to sign up for an appointment using the Student Appointment Scheduler. Students should not come to student services during class time unless they have an appointment or it is an emergency.The counselor will e-mail you a response and/or send a hall pass for you to come to Student Services during the day to meet.School Counselor Appointment Procedures for Parents
If you wish to speak with your child’s counselor, you may email them or call them at 919-881-4800. If you would like to meet with your child’s counselor in person, we ask that you call or email them and set up a scheduled time to meet ahead of time.
Although the counselors do their best to be accessible, if you come to the Student Services office without an appointment, there is no guarantee that the counselor will be able to speak with you. Often, the counselors have other appointments, are working with students, or may be out of their office due to classroom guidance, testing, or meetings off campus.
If your child is in crisis and you need urgent assistance, the counselors will make every effort to speak with you or we will arrange for another counselor who is available to assist you and your student.
