School Counseling
On October 20th, THS School Counselors will conduct their semi-annual, anonymous student survey for grades 9-12 focusing on student risk and protective factors related to social-emotional wellness. We will utilize the Panorama Education student survey, which will take students 10-15 minutes to complete. Aggregate data from the survey will be analyzed to help inform youth substance use prevention efforts.
Data collected will inform planning for mental health, prevention, and wellness programming in the classroom & community. In the event that you'd prefer your student opt-out of this fall's survey administration, please simply email their School Counselor by Monday October 17, 2022.
