How can I arrange to meet with anyone in Student Services?

• Walk-in
  • Before school, during lunch, after school
  • During class, if urgent or if you have time that day and it's okay with your teacher.
• Appointment
  • Email or come in person to schedule an appointment.
  • Leave a note with our secretary, Ms. Brooks, if we’re unavailable, and let us know what times work best for you.  We’ll follow up.
