Counseling Services

The Sanger ISD counseling model provides several components and tools that builds accountability to measure the effectiveness of work throughout the counseling program.

Professional school counselors make decisions on who and how to provide services based on data. Various data points such as studying   attendance, discipline referrals, failure of subjects/courses, and assessment data (along with parent and student interviews), help counselors prepare a strategic focused District and Campus counseling program.

Referrals to the counselor can be made by anyone.
