SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGIST
The services of a licensed school psychologist are available. Appointments with the school psychologist are arranged through the student’s assigned assigned counselor.
SECURITY
Students may use the building and school facilities after school hours only under the supervision of a teacher or coach. Unless special permission has been granted by the Administration, no student may be in the building or on school grounds after 10:00 p.m. on the night before a school day.
