Counselling
A school-based Counsellor, assigned to Rochester 
on a part-time basis, offers counselling, consultation, and assessment services. Counselling may occur individually or in groups regarding social, emotional, or behavioral concerns. The school-based Counsellor may also help students make the transition to middle school. Usual services are accessed through our school-based team. Permission forms for counselling must be signed and returned to school prior to counselling taking place.
