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)

Mrs. Taylor Heimrich

Hello! My name is Taylor Heimrich. I’m the new school counselor at Fairview Elementary. I’m a Union County native and graduated from Piedmont High School in 2011. I went to Appalachian State University and earned a bachelor's degree in Child Development. After working in Charlotte for a bit, I decided to go back to school to become a school counselor. I graduated from Liberty University in 2018 with a Master’s degree in School Counseling. Since then, I have worked as an elementary and middle school counselor in Richmond County Schools. This year is my 5th year in education and my 1st year in Union County Public Schools. I have recently relocated from Southern Pines, North Carolina and currently live in Indian Trail with my husband and our Dachshund (Ollie) and kitty cat (Myla). In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, crafting, reading, and going to Appalachian State football games (Go Apps!). Fun fact about me is I was born on the day of love, Valentine’s Day! I'm looking forward to a great school year and feel very blessed to be a Fairview Wildcat.
