ULS SCHOOL COUNSELING 

SCHOOL COUNSELING SERVICES

Enrollment at ULS grants parental consent for students to be seen by the school counselors. We are trained listeners and problem solvers who provide students with a safe and supportive place to share their concerns. We have helped many students work through the challenges of growing up and are qualified to assist students with academic, college/career, and social-emotional development.

While the we will make every effort to protect students' privacy, there are limits to confidentiality such as: 

​

• A student reports thoughts or intentions to harm himself or others

• Any kind of abuse or neglect is reported or suspected

• A court order mandates the disclosure of information​​

​

Also, it is necessary at times to exchange information with members of the educational team and with parents to best meet students’ needs. This includes the sharing of goals, strategies, progress, etc. However, in order to build trust with students, most of what is discussed with the School Counselor is kept confidential. 

​

If the there are any concerns about a student’s safety, we will be in touch immediately with his/her parents to coordinate safety planning.The guardian of the student will be requested to seek appropriate private sector assistance at that time. The student will be detained until personally picked up by the guardian.
