THE COUNSELING CENTER IS "UNDER CONSTRUCTION"
In order to BEST meet the needs of our students, we are changing the way we serve our students. Counselors will continue to specialize in Career Interest areas but will be assigned to students differently. Grade 9 students will be assigned by Team. 10th-12th grade students will be assigned alphabetically by last names. We hope that this will make it possible for us to provide continuity for students and get to know families. We also think this will make it easier for parents and teachers to identify a student's counselor. Counselor assignments for the 2009-10 school year are :
Grade 9 Team A: Susan Seacrest sseacre@lps.org
Grade 9 Team B Becky Tegeler rtegel@lps.org
Grades 10-12
Last names beginning with:
A-GO Rick Boyle rboyle@lps.org
Gr-Mc Ginny Schnabel vschnab@lps.org
Me-R Lionel Suarez lsuarez@lps.org
S-Z Virginia Saporta vsaporta@lps.org
