Immaculate Conception School employs two counselors to support students and families: Stacey Davis, who serves full-time, and Nick Nguyen, who serves part-time. The role of a counselor is to help identify, assess, and -- Immaculate Conception School hopes -- to resolve spiritual, social, emotional, behavioral, and academic difficulties that may interfere with attendance, achievement and adjustment in school. All information shared by students, parents and teachers is kept confidential consistent with applicable law, i.e., only to the extent that it is legally privileged, such as a health care provider-patient privilege, and except in certain situations where there is an ethical and/or legal responsibility to limit confidentiality and reveal information or records. Such situations include but are not necessarily limited to circumstances where the child reveals information about harm or possible harm to himself or herself or to another person or where the child reveals information about abuse. The school counselor will act at all times in a professional manner that is consistent with the legal and ethical standards that all school counselors uphold.

Self-care helpful information
Self-care is much more than an occasional spa day or a comforting meal! Self-care is performing deliberate activities that take care of our mind, body, and emotions. Research has shown that acts of self-care improve our overall mood and helps to decrease stress, anxiety, and depression. Because of the covid crisis and all of its side-effects, self-care is becoming even more important. If you would like to learn more about self-care, please see the Self-care Helpful Information document that is in your child's PlusPortals account.
Please download and read the self-care article featured on Immaculate Conception's Plus Portal page. It is at the bottom of the main page in the School Links and Files section.
