 Welcome to the North Warren Regional School District Counseling Department. The counselors and I are committed to assisting students master the developmental tasks and to cope with critical life problems encountered during adolescence. A paramount goal of the counseling program is to provide experiences and opportunities to prepare students to become productive members of society. Consistent with these goals, the primary objective of the counseling program is to assist students to:

• Acquire a realistic understanding of themselves and others.
• Resolve problems which interfere with learning.
• Develop positive interpersonal relationships.
• Become self-directive.
• Explore opportunities for further education, vocational training, and/or employment.
• Become aware of graduation requirements and their levels of attainment.
• Maintain proper behavior and facilitate academic growth.

To assist students in accomplishing these objectives, school counselors, in conjunction with other professionals and parents, perform major functions such as:

1. Provide individual and/or group counseling programs for all students.
2. Work cooperatively with teachers, parents, and other important adults in the students’ lives.
3. Collect information, including standardized test results about individual students, so that the data may be used to help each student benefit as much as possible from the educational program.
4. Assist students to utilize personal, educational, career, and social materials so that they may learn more about themselves and the environment in which they live.
5. Provide assistance to students which will enable them, upon leaving North Warren Regional School District, to continue a program of advanced education and/or to enter the world of work.
6. Keep students informed of graduation requirements and their status in meeting these requirements.

We welcome your continued support of the counseling program. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

Loraine A. Petrillo, EdD

Director of Student Personnel Services
