What Counselors Support

Students can meet with counselors for support with academic planning, time management, stress, goal-setting, peer relationships, and more. Aspen Ridge counselors work closely with each student to build skills, set plans, and prepare for high school graduation and beyond.

College & Career Guidance

Counselors help students explore college, trade school, and career options through personal interest assessments, course planning, and real-world exposure. Students can get support with everything from Dual Enrollment to graduation requirements and the A-G college prep pathway for UCs and CSUs.

Accessing Counseling Services

Counselors are available during the school day and often before/after school or during lunch. Students can drop in, request a pass, or send a message via email. Families can also reach out directly to coordinate support.

Emergencies

In case of an emergency, students should tell a trusted adult and call 911. The Counseling Department is not an emergency service provider.
