The counselor serves all students in the school. The counseling program includes the planning of each student’s academic program, counseling with students who have personal or academic problems, administering the school’s testing program, providing college and career guidance, and assisting in the college application process.
Pinewood’s guidance center houses a wealth of catalogs, books, pamphlets and other materials on colleges and universities. The guidance counselor also strives to provide valuable information on college entrance exam preparation, financial aid and career choices. The counselor’s website can be accessed through the school website at gopca.org. This website contains information about our school’s curriculum and graduation requirements. Forms for transcript requests and work permits can also be found on the counselor’s website. This website will continually update and offer new information about tests, colleges, scholarships, etc. Please visit the website often to stay informed of upcoming events and new information.
The counselor may be reached at extension #30 or through her email address at pcacounselor@bellsouth.net. Parents needing to speak to the guidance counselor may call and schedule an appointment. Students needing assistance may stop by the guidance office to schedule an appointment. The school guidance counselor is available Monday through Friday from 8:00 to 3:30 and her office is located upstairs.
The school counselor does not work full time during the summer months. She will continue to check voice mail and email and will return calls as soon as possible.
Students and parents who need immediate assistance during the summer months should contact the upper school office.
