Academic Resources

Counselors are available by appointment to meet with students regarding any academic concerns (see "Make Appointment" links at the bottom of the page).  Additionally, they can help with organizational and time management skills.  Counselors also work with students to make sure they are scheduled into appropriate level classes, including support classes when needed.

Perspective for Parents Podcast by Nicholas D. Thompson LCSW

"I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, having earned a Bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Colorado at Boulder and a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of North Dakota. I have been working with youth and their families for over 10 years in a variety of settings including middle and high schools, private practice, residential treatment facilities, and detention centers. In addition, I have worked abroad with youth in Brazil and Costa Rica.  I have a private practice in Boulder, Colorado, give trainings and presentations to students, staff of school districts, and parents, and host a podcast for parents of adolescents called “Perspective for Parents.” My past professional experience includes working for the St. Vrain Valley School District as a Mental Health Interventionist, and serving as lead parent facilitator for iTHRIVE, an early substance abuse intervention program for teens and their parents.  I am passionate about assisting youth and their families realizing adolescence is a time of great opportunity and not just a phase to survive."
