CONFIDENTIALITY
As professional school counselors, we take pride in our role within schools and working with students with a variety of concerns. Whether it is personal, social, academic, or career related. It is important that we provide students a safe, reliable space when they feel they need additional support from their school counselor. In agreeance with the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) Ethical Standards, it is our responsibility to keep topics/ issues discussed with students confidential, unless:
- the student reports they are hurting themselves or want to hurt themselves
- the student reports someone else is hurting them or has threatened to hurt them
- the student reports that they are going to cause harm to another person
Under these circumstances, we make the professional decision to contact the appropriate support or authorities, including notifying parents/guardians. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

CALIFORNIA CAREER COLLEGES

Each of our amazing students has a personal California Colleges account that they can access throughout the school year and summer. This account will grow with them until the graduate from Upland High! It was help them stay on college Prep track (A-G Courses), allow them opportunities to take interest surveys for jobs and majors. Work on college planning and explore what schools offer programs they are interested in. It can go over financial aide and much much more!
Your child will be exposed to two lessons per year in their English classes and you can spend much more time on your own in the program. We are excited to share this opportunity and help all of our students be College Ready!
