Welcome to the Counseling Department!

The Counseling Department provides academic, career, and personal/social support to all students.

The mission of the secondary level counseling departments is to provide a comprehensive school counseling program that addresses the academic, career, and personal/social development of all students through a collaborative effort between the home, school, and community. The ultimate objective it to prepare students to be productive, well-rounded, informed, and responsible contributing members of society.

School counselors are professional school advocates who provide support to maximize student potential and achievement. In partnership with other educators, families, and the community, school counselors facilitate a support system to ensure all students have access to the tools enabling them to become responsible and productive citizens.

Questions about classwork and class expectations should be directed to classroom teachers via Schoology and/or email.

Students are encouraged to connect with us for “video appointments” via Microsoft Teams, an online platform like Skype, by scheduling an appointment through Schoology messaging. Counselors will schedule these sessions and send info on how to connect to the appointments. Please understand that because we will be operating through an online platform, sessions cannot be guaranteed to be confidential due to technology and possible unintended viewers/listeners. Virtual School Counseling is a way we can still work with our students in a non-traditional way and it will be a learning process for us all!

REGISTRATION:

In late January students received their registration materials for the 2020-2021 school year; an email was sent home to all parents prior to this. Over the course of a week, students reviewed their graduation requirements, scholarship requirements, core course progressions, new course offerings, and the difference between Advanced Placement and Dual credit courses during their advisory. The materials that students were given to bring home prior to registering was a registration form and a back to back sheet with their elective options on one side and the core course progressions and options on the other side. The complete Program of Studies including all the descriptions of courses offered in the district can be found online at https://www.tinyurl.com/westfargo-classes
