Announcements

To Our Students and Families At Nanuet Senior High School,

Schools closures haven’t stopped guidance counselors at Nanuet High School from reaching their students. Making phone calls, joining Zoom meetings, and sending emails have taken the place of one-on-one interactions. Your counselors at Nanuet High School want to remind all students that you are not alone during this time of social distancing.

While we are not physically in brick and mortar schooling right now, the same people who have supported you throughout the school year are still here for you. It may not be a literal door during this time, but the same “open door policy” we had in school still exists. We are checking in on our students to make sure we are not only meeting your needs academically but also socially and emotionally.

As the days go by, we hope that you are all getting more and more comfortable with the new virtual approach to counseling and support. We have worked to build very strong relationships with students prior to recent events, and those foundations have in part allowed for a smoother transition and ongoing practices.

We will continue to monitor and adapt to this evolving situation and keep everyone updated. The safety and well-being of our students and families are of the utmost importance to us. We will all get through this together.

Sincerely,

Jackie Laurenzano     Donna Hirsch     Jill Merkert     Maria Miele

Welcome Message

Welcome to the Guidance and Counseling Department! 
 
The mission of the Nanuet School Counseling Program is to provide programs and services that assist students to grow academically, personally, socially, and vocationally. We also provide comprehensive and developmental approaches to give all our students assistance and support so they may reach their individual goals
and potential.
 
Guidance services in Nanuet Senior High School are the resources provided to facilitate academic success, to help students better understand personal strengths, limitations, and interests, and to assist in planning for and attaining realistic goals.
 
School counselors help students assume responsibility for making plans and decisions; they interpret information for both students and their parents to help them deal with needs and problems that may arise. Counselors also show how interests, aptitudes, and abilities work together. They provide information and guidance about careers and opportunities for post-high school education--colleges, technical schools, work and apprentice programs, as well as financial aid information. Your counselor's major task is to see that you graduate after having experienced a rich and rewarding high school career.
 
The school counselors will meet with every student at various times during high school. These meetings include scheduling discussions, college planning, test results, grades, personal matters, or any other issues that may arise during the student’s four years at Nanuet Senior High School. In addition to counselor-scheduled appointments, students are encouraged to stop in the guidance office at any time. Students’ concerns will be addressed as soon as possible, depending upon the availability of the counselors at that time.
