COUNSELING

Counseling services are available to students at Lincoln Street School. Students might see a counselor to discuss concerns about school, friends, or family. Counselors will listen to students, try to understand their feelings and their concerns, and try to help them solve their problems.

Students are referred by parents, teachers, or by the students themselves. To determine if counseling is appropriate, the counselor will speak with parents, teachers, and the student. Before formal counseling sessions begin, written permission must be given by the parents, and appointments will be arranged for the student. A new referral for counseling evaluation is needed each year. Parents may arrange to talk with a counselor to discuss their child or to ask for counseling for their child by calling the school office.
