Confidentiality
All school counselors follow the American School Counselor Association Code of Ethics. Students are guaranteed confidentiality when speaking with a counselor unless the student presents danger to self or to others. Vermont law requires counselors to report any suspected abuse or neglect to the Department of Children and Families. The School Counseling department works as a team and, at times, counselors may consult with one another regarding student issues and services.
