NOVA Academy’s counseling department is a safe and affirming environment for students to develop academically and emotionally toward their college and career goals. We implement a proactive, data-driven, student-centered program that facilitates rigorous academic development, collaboration within the community, and the accomplishments of post-secondary milestones pre-graduation. Our partnerships with institutions like College of the Desert and the University of California, Irvine provide opportunities for students to explore, excel, and establish themselves in the greater global community.
We are privileged to partner with students and their families in their educational and career planning. Below is information to help parents and guardians successfully collaborate with the counselors at NOVA Academy.
The school counselor is responsible for three domains in your child’s education: academic, social/emotional, and college/career. School counselors guide students academically so that they’ll achieve their full potential as they learn and grow. Counselors will also ensure that all students get the support and resources they need to develop socially and emotionally. Counselors at NOVA Academy coordinate college and career readiness through dual enrollment opportunities, college field trips, career exploration, and the college application process.
As a parent, you know your child best. However, the school counselors are trained and equipped to help your child as a student. It’s important to encourage your child as they navigate all challenges including academic, social, emotional, and college/career.
In case you or your child have a need, please work with your school counselor to find a solution. Counselors will collect necessary information to appropriately help your child and will discuss resources available inside and outside of school. Parents, counselors, and students will work together towards success in your child’s education.
Counselors will communicate with parents as needed. This can be through email, phone calls, or in-person meetings. When a parent has questions or concerns, please contact the school counselor through phone or email. To better serve parents, please schedule in-person meetings in advance via phone call or email.
