In an effort to increase student awareness of school counseling and mental health services, the Office of Student, Equity, Enrollment and Discipline (SEED) is asking that you allow time within the school day for your school counselor and mental health clinician to co-facilitate a student orientation session. During this virtual meeting, your students will learn who these professionals are, their roles and responsibilities, and how to access services. 

Orientation Session Expectations:

• School counselors and mental health clinicians will consult with school administration about the particulars of scheduling, for instance to decide if the session will be offered to all students at once or by grade level.


• Sessions will be scheduled between January 11 – February 12.


• The time frame for each session will range between 30 to 45 minutes.


• Sessions will be interactive to promote student engagement and include a question-and-answer segment and post-session survey.

Please send all inquiries to Dr. Angela Hargrave, Executive Director of SEED HARGRAVEAL@scsk12.org
