Administrators, counselors, teachers, parents, child study team members, school nurse and the student assistance counselor all collaborate closely to help guide youth within the limits of their responsibility. Since guidance services are an integral part of the entire education process, it is important that students become familiar with persons responsible for the coordinating of the guidance services available.
Guidance is the individualizing, personalizing and socializing elements in education.
It is assistance given individuals in making choices, plans, interpretations, and adjustments. Obstacles can be recognized and dealt with. Students are assisted in clarifying their plans, understanding themselves, and projecting what they can become as members of society. In Wallington High School the guidance offices are located on the second floor adjacent to the main office. Throughout the year your counselors schedule several guidance appointments with students.
