I believe that parents are an extremely important part of a child’s education. In the counseling department, we believe parent involvement is key to a student's success. We have amazing parents in our school family and we understand that there is a time in every parent’s life when they need a little extra support. The resources on this page are here to provide that to you during your time of need.

    With this website you will find community resources, helpful parenting website links and monthly parenting newsletters which will include tips and ideas to further support you and your family. If you find that you need additional support, please do not hesitate to contact our counselor.
