We are closely monitoring the next round of winter weather expected this weekend for our area. Based on the forecast and after consulting with local emergency teams, all extra-curricular activities for Saturday, Jan. 31, have been canceled.

Any decision concerning our Monday school schedule will be shared with families no later than Sunday evening through email/text messages, our websites, social media, and local media stations. If you are not receiving our direct messages, please check your contact information in the Parent Portal.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to navigate through our weather challenges.

School Counseling Services

School counselors are certified educators with a minimum of a master's degree in school counseling, making them exceptionally qualified to address all students’ academic, career and social/emotional development through a variety of ways that promotes and enhances student success.

School counselors are vital members of the education team and maximize student success by helping all students apply academic achievement strategies, manage emotions and apply interpersonal skills, and plan for postsecondary options (higher education, military, and workforce).

Counseling services include:

  • Individual student academic planning, goal setting, decision making
  • Classroom lessons (social/emotional, academic and career)
  • Group counseling
  • Short-term individual counseling to students
  • Referrals for long-term support
  • Career Planning
  • Transition Planning
  • Collaboration with families, teachers, community for student success

We encourage our Barrow Bold families to reach out to their student’s school counselor with questions or if additional support is needed beyond the scope of the classroom.
