Counseling

Hi! I am the guidance counselor for the upper school at EARJ. I hope you find this site helpful. I have included a brief description of the program (to the right) as well as links (to the left) to the pages that might interest you as a student, a parent, or a teacher.
There is also a link to Upper School Counseling activities and events, such as the Guidance Advisory Council (GAC) and Peer Counseling, as well as pictures of the Freshman Orientation Day and the Street Party, a community-building event.

Please email me if you have any questions or concerns, or call Ext. 131 for an appointment.

Program Description

The guidance program in the Upper School builds on the goals of the lower school and middle school in supporting and facilitating personal growth, self-esteem, and good interpersonal relationships. In addition, the program helps students to grow in their understanding of themselves and their world and to become responsible adults. The guidance program includes the planning and monitoring of students’ academic program and progress, assists students who experience academic or personal difficulties, and stresses decision-making and personal responsibility. The program provides small group counseling, through a Peer Counseling program, as well as short-term individual counseling. When there is a need, the counselor refers students to the school psychologist for diagnostic testing and outside referrals. Both parents and students are encouraged to contact the counselor as soon as they experience any personal or academic difficulties.
