Student Bookings - Meet with Counselor

Student Support Services

Below are guidelines, our confidentiality statement, necessary parent information and counselor links for students to meet with their assigned counselor.

Instructions to book an appointment with your counselor

To book an appointment, please use the link next to your counselor's name. We recommend that you bookmark the booking page for easy future access. The link will be in your counselor's email signature as well.
The confirmation email you receive after booking can be used as your pass to my office.
You must be signed into your KRSD Google account to book. This booking page is for student use only. Parents should continue to call or email your student's counselor to set up an appointment.
If you are booking your own appointment online, it must be made at least 24 hours in advance! If you schedule a same-day appointment, it will NOT be accepted.
Due to our changing schedules, appointments may not be booked further than two weeks out unless agreed upon with me.
Emergency and crisis situations are the exception to these guidelines!
Advisement meetings to select courses for next year DO NOT need to be scheduled this way. You will automatically receive a pass from me for those meetings.

Limits to Confidentiality

"ASCA members affirm their belief in the individual’s worth and dignity (ASCA, 2010, A.1.a). It is the school counselors’ responsibility to fully respect the right to privacy of those with whom they enter a counseling relationship and to provide an atmosphere of trust and confidence (Glosoff & Pate, 2002; Lazovsky, 2008; Welfel, 2002). Confidentiality is an ethical term denoting a counseling practice relevant to privacy. A student who has a counseling relationship with a school counselor has the right to privacy and the promise of confidentiality. Exceptions to confidentiality exist, and students should be informed that situations arise in which school counselors must inform others of information obtained in counseling relationships in order to protect students themselves or others. Privileged communication between a school counselor and a student is a legal term granting privilege to a counseling relationship only if said “privilege” is granted by federal or state statute. If “privilege” applies it can provide additional safeguards to confidential information.

The role of the school counselor in regards to confidentiality is:

To support the students’ right to privacy and protect confidential information received from students, the family, guardians and staff members
To explain the meaning and limits of confidentiality to students in developmentally appropriate terms
To provide appropriate disclosure and informed consent regarding the counseling relationship and confidentiality
To inform students and the family of the limits to confidentiality when:
- Student poses a danger to self or others
- Court ordered disclosure
- Consultation with other professionals in support of the student i.e. colleagues, supervisors, treatment teams, and other support personnel
- Privilege communication is not granted by state laws and local guidelines (e.g. school board policies)
To keep personal notes separate from educational records and not disclose their contents except when privacy exceptions exist.
To seek guidance from supervisors and appropriate legal advice when their records are subpoenaed
To assert their belief that information shared by students is “confidential” and should not be revealed without the student’s consent
To adhere to all laws protecting student records, health information, and special services (i.e., HIPAA, FERPA, IDEA)."
