Wellness Services @261
If your child needs support from the school’s wellness or counseling services, here’s how to begin:
Step 1: Contact the Teacher
Start by reaching out to your child’s teacher to discuss any concerns. The teacher can provide insight into your child’s experience in class and recommend next steps.
Step 2: Connect with the Parent Coordinator
If additional support is needed, the teacher may refer you to the school counselor, John Smith. You can also contact the school counselor directly to request assistance.
