    The deadline to request a schedule correction is Friday, August 29th at 3:30 pm.

     

    Requests for both 1st and 2nd semester corrections should be made at this time. All corrections must be requested on the same submission. Only one request (form entry) will be allowed per student. All schedules have been reviewed. Changes will not be made for students who were placed in their 1st or alternate choice courses requested.

     

    Requests will only be considered for the following reasons:

    ● Senior is missing a required class for graduation or for college admissions

    ● Student has not met or is missing a prerequisite for a course for which they are enrolled

    ● Student is taking a course that he/she has already passed

    ● Student is missing a required core course (English, Math, Science, Social Studies) in their schedule

    ● Student has the same course listed twice on their schedule

    ● Level change in core class (ie. Honors to CP - only if there is space available in the new level course)

    ● Student has “Please See Your Counselor” listed on their schedule

     

    A counselor will email you as we are able to process your request at your UCPS school email on whether a correction can or cannot be made to your schedule. Counselors will not be responding to schedule requests made by email or by phone.

     

    The focus of the PWHS Counseling Center is to provide students with support in their academic, career, and personal/social development. The counselors assist students with scheduling, course selection, career exploration, college and scholarship advising, coping with peer pressure and stress, developing time management skills and more.

Confidentiality Statement

  • School counselors recognize their primary obligation for confidentiality is to the student but balance that obligation with an understanding of the family or guardians’ legal and inherent rights to be the guiding voice in their children’s lives (ASCA Code of Ethics).

    The role of the school counselor in regards to confidentiality is:

    • To support the students right to privacy and protect confidential information received from students, the family, guardian and staff members
    • To explain the meaning and limits of confidentiality to students in developmentally appropriate terms
    • To provide appropriate disclosure and informed consent regarding the counseling relationship and confidentiality
    • To inform students and the family of the limits to confidentiality when: Student poses a danger to self or others, Court ordered disclosure, Consultation with other professionals in support of the student i.e. colleagues, supervisors, treatment teams, and other support personnel
    • To keep personal notes separate from educational records and not disclose their contents except when privacy exceptions exist
    • To seek guidance from supervisors and appropriate legal advice when their records are subpoenaed
    • To assert their belief that information shared by students is “confidential” and should not be revealed without the student’s consent
    • To adhere to all laws protecting student records, health information, and special services (i.e., HIPAA, FERPA, IDEA)
