Counseling

Academic Counseling

Students and parents are encouraged to talk with the school counselor to learn about course offerings, graduation requirements, and early graduation procedures. Each spring, students in grade 8 will be provided with information on anticipated course offerings for the next year and other information that will help to make the most of academic and vocational opportunities.

To plan for the future, including attendance at a college, university, or training school or pursuing some other type of advanced education, students should work closely with the school counselor to take the courses that best prepare them for the future. The school counselor can also provide information about entrance exams and application deadlines, as well as information about automatic admission to state colleges and universities, financial aid, housing, and scholarships.

Personal Counseling

The principal or designee and/or the school counselor are available to assist students with a wide range of personal concerns, including social, family, or emotional issues and substance abuse. The principal, designee, or school counselor may also provide information about community resources to address these concerns. A student who wishes to meet with the principal or designee or school counselor should set an appointment through the school secretary.

Please note: LTS will not conduct a psychological examination, test, or treatment without first obtaining the parent’s written consent, unless required by state or federal law for special education purposes or by the TEA for child abuse investigations and reports.
