We employ a school counselor from Catholic Charities on premise twice a week. The principal, vice principal and school nurse provide basic guidance. They advise and refer parents to private counseling. A private locked file in the principal's office contains all guidance records. Teachers and staff receive information from private agencies on a need to know basis.
Parents have access to any files they wish to see that concerns their child.
Only with written permission of the parent would we share information about the student with outside agencies. Available to our school is the Monmouth County Education Commission services. Small groups of students meet twice weekly with a designated advisor. Open discussions occur about concerns of the students in today's world. We employ a part time remedial teacher who assists the classroom teacher when needed.
