Changes in Contact Info?

Has your family moved? Have any of your phone numbers changed?

Please be sure and update this information with the Guidance Office before the end of school! Many important pieces of information are sent home to students over the summer. If we do not have your new information on file, you will be missing out on report cards, testing scores, back to school information, etc.

Please contact the School Counseling Office at 757.648.5661 should you have any questions or updates.
