Counseling Office
Our school counseling program is an important part of education. We focus on students' academic, career, and social/emotional development. The school counselor is here to support and prioritize each student.
Confidentiality
Trust is the foundation of the student/counselor relationship. Any information shared by the student will be kept confidential, except in these situations:
- If there is a clear and present danger to the student or others.
- If the student agrees to share the information.
- If the information is required by a court of law.
Counseling Resources
Valley Southwoods students are automatically included in a Canvas course with more information about Naviance, social-emotional learning, mental health resources, and guidance for course registration at Valley High School.
Xello Career Information System
