Counseling Services

Counseling services at OSUE exist to facilitate the growth and development of students as they progress through school. These services are designed to help students in their educational planning, decision-making, and personal-social development. Counselors are committed to working with parents as well as with students to assist students in gaining the greatest benefit from school experiences. Counseling services, which complement both instructional and administrative operations, provide opportunities for students to develop self-understanding, self-evaluation, and self-direction. The counselor’s goal is for the student to mature as an individual who understands the responsibility for making decisions and living with the consequences of those decisions. OSUE counselors will be available throughout the day for individual and group conferences. Teachers are expected to refer students to the school counselor and students are urged to ask the counselor for assistance in any issue that concerns them. Parents are also encouraged to contact the counselor to discuss any areas of concern.
