Advisory Council
The School Counselors of Riverside Brookfield High school will utilize an advisory council to confirm that the needs of all stakeholders are being met; this includes staff, students and administrators. The advisory council will discuss and review the implementation of the school counseling programs and services to better serve the students of Riverside Brookfield High School. The Advisory Council is made up school administrators, a school board member, school counselor, social worker, a parent from the parent teacher organization, as well as student representatives from each class. The collaboration will occur on a quarterly basis to allow for evaluation of the school counseling program and help to address any presenting issues.
Annual Agreement
The annual agreement is a document that encourages discussion and collaboration between school counselors and administrators at the beginning of each school year. Through this signed agreement, the goals are established and the school counselor’s responsibilities are detailed. Additionally, the document ensures that the goals of the school counseling program align with the mission of Riverside Brookfield High School. This agreement establishes program goals and priorities, while also ensuring a smooth and positive implementation throughout the school year.
School Calendar
The school calendar provides an overview of meetings that the school counseling program will provide to students as well as dates of school
activities. Currently RB has two separate calendars, a school calendar and a Student services calendar. It is our hope that students, parents, and school staff can access this comprehensive calendar at any time to help keep them informed of the events and programs at Riverside Brookfield High School. This calendar will be updated as necessary by the student services department to ensure the most accurate data is available. This calendar also encourages students, parents, and faculty to become more involved with the activities offered by the student services department.

School counselors can utilize this data to help their students achieve success in their academics. The profile data becomes a snapshot of the school’s progress and can help with accessing the collective needs of the students.
