Scheduling Appointments With Your Counselor
South High students are able to schedule their own appointments to meet with their school counselor!
This tool is for South High students only. If parents/guardians would like to schedule a meeting with a counselor, please call or email. We are happy to help!
It's important to form a relationship with your school counselor. The better we get to know you, the better we will able to help you with a variety of things throughout your high school experience! We also just really enjoy meeting with our students!
Students can make appointments to meet with their school counselor. When making an appointment, please remember the following:
You can reach out to your counselor via email to schedule an appointment.
You can also schedule an appointment using the links in the School Counseling Google Classrooms. When scheduling your appointment, please keep a few things in mind: Schedule an appointment during an elective period. If you need more than 15 minutes to meet, you can book back to back appointments!
You can also stop in before/after school or lunch to let your counselor know you would like an appointment.
Your counselor will also schedule appointments for you without having to request them. You will receive a pass from your first period teacher with an appointment time on there.
