School Counseling is one of the aspects of Rio life that can really support and enhance a student’s high school experience. Rio has a full-time, on campus school counselor that meets regularly with students to address a variety of challenges or goals that students might have.
The counselor’s office is open for any student to come and speak about anything he or she needs to. For some students they work on organization and time management skills, for others its personal or social concerns they work on.
Rio’s counselor regularly meets in the dorms with small groups of students to discuss topics ranging from relationships, to managing emotions.
We know life can seem overwhelming for students. That’s why there is someone on campus to help with the personal, social, and career aspects of life.
At various times the school counselor will work with teachers to augment the science, religion, or into the classroom for a short exercise or a long discussion. Topics often are integrated with the class’s topics.
Rio’s counselor meets with classes to guide and educate students about career and college options. Throughout the school year, topics covered range from career assessments, college planning, scholarship and financial aid opportunities, and one on one counseling.
Rio’s school counselor also regularly sends out resources to parents to pull them into the conversation about further education and financial assistance and to stay on track with deadlines throughout the year.
