A Message from GJSD School Counselors and School Psychologists
Students and Families:
We know that this is a very challenging time and wanted to take a moment to say that we are thinking of you and miss you! This is new to us as well, and we are learning and adjusting. Even though learning is occurring at home and not in the school buildings during this time, your counselors and psychologists are available to talk anytime. Parents are also invited and encouraged to reach out to the counseling staff at your child’s school if there are any questions or concerns about your child’s social, emotional, or behavioral wellbeing. Additionally, students and parents are always encouraged to reach out to their teachers or building principals with any questions or concerns.
You may reach your counselor or psychologist directly by phone by calling (518) 736-1708. We will be sure that your call is returned by your counselor or your child’s counselor as soon as possible.
