    • Anyone can refer a student to the Wellness Center by completing the online referral form
    • You can also refer students by contacting Cheryl Stanton in the main office.
    • Students seeking support are always welcome to drop-in to request services at the office.

    How often might students miss class to utilize Wellness services?

    Students requesting support may participate in services anywhere between fifteen minutes to one hour a week. If a student is falling behind, please email the Wellness team to share your concern. Students are issued an appointment pass that teachers pass out which indicates permission for students to attend their Wellness appointment. Teachers always have the right to say ‘not now’ unless the student is in crisis.
