Comprehensive Competency-Based Guidance
The
Guidance and Counseling program is based on the Comprehensive
Competency-Based Guidance format (CCBG). The school
counselor presents the counseling curriculum during the
year to the students at East Valley Academy.
This curriculum is offered in one-on-one conferences, small group activities and/or large
group presentations. The premise of CCBG — that certain information needs to be presented to all students
during their high school years — has been endorsed by the school
district, the Arizona School Counselors Association and the American
School Counselor Association.
Appointments
The counselor is on campus from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. daily during the
regular school year. Although walk-ins are permitted, an appointment is
the best way to ensure that the counselor will be available to meet with
a student and/or parent.
Parents
or students may make counseling appointments by contacting the school
office in person or by calling (480) 472-9359. Students may be excused
from class for brief periods to meet with the counselor.
