Saint John Paul II Regional School is fortunate to also have a School Counselor available to our students. The Counselor will meet with students during the school year for various reasons to help a child achieve their fullest potential academically, behaviorally and socially. The Counselor is there to provide support or manage challenging behaviors.
The Counselor is available 0n Thursdays from 8AM-3PM. Due to limited time, the Counselor does not do traditional counseling instead the focus is on providing support, teaching strategies and helping students monitor and change their own behavior.
Our Counselor will send a form home to provide parent permission to speak with a child.
