Counseling

Welcome to Diegueño's Counseling Department!
 
We strive to ensure a safe and supportive environment in which all students acquire the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed for academic, personal/social and career development.  Our hope is that each student develop a love of learning, contribute positively to their school community and become responsible individuals.
STUDENTS: 
 
A school counselor can help students by providing support and guidance when you have questions/concerns about your academics, or when you need to talk with a trusted adult about personal things that are going on at school or home.
 
A few examples: "What classes should I take?"  "I need help in knowing how to improve my grades," "I'm nervous about talking with my teacher," "My friends and I are arguing and I can't focus in class because of it," "I'm feeling stressed about things going on at home," "I'm worried about my friend, they seem sad"
 
 
PARENTS:
 
A school counselor can help parents address:
  • Academic achievement concerns
  • Personal/social/behavior concerns
  • Future academic planning 
 
A few examples: "My son used to be excited about school but now he just doesn't seem to care," "My daughter seems to be the target of some teasing and bullying at school - can you help?" "I have seen changes in my child's behavior at home and I'm worried," "What level English/math should my child take in middle school?" "What can I do now to best prepare my child for high school?"
