Response Counselors

The Counseling Department is continuing with a "Response Counselor" model. We are hoping that this will help students (and parents) get information, questions answered, forms signed, etc. in a timely manner. A student may still make an appointment to see his assigned Counselor to follow up on personal issues, work on college planning, etc.

There is a Response Counselor on duty every day. Many schools use a Response Counselor and find it an efficient way of using all counselors' time in a more effective manner. The idea is to have one counselor (called the Response Counselor) take all walk-in students and phone calls for the entire day. This allows to other counselors to visit with students they need to see, do letters of recommendations, write curriculum, do classroom presentations, etc. The Response Counselor duty is rotated daily using all of the counselors.

There are also benefits for teachers and students. For example, students do not have to sit and wait and miss class time. Often a student can get his issue resolved b the Response counselor and get back to class in just a few minutes. There is a calendar posted on the Counseling Center door that tells students who the Response Counselor for each day will be for the entire month.
