To See a Counselor:
Students
- Fill out a "Counselor Request Form" in the Counseling Office, portable N44 (during passing period, lunch or with a note from your teacher).
- Your Counselor will call you out of class. During busy weeks, this could take a few days.
- If you have an emergency, please notify the Counseling Secretary, Ms. Carla Beard (portable N44, ext. 20205) or the main Receptionist (505-843-6400).
- The counseling office is open Monday-Friday from 7am to 3pm.
Parents
- In delivering a comprehensive school counseling program, school counselors perform different roles including participating in professional learning community meetings, district level meetings, and classroom presentations which require the counselors to be out of the office. To better serve you please contact your student's counselor directly by e-mail or phone.
