Counseling

Welcome back Dons family! Counselors miss our students and will be excited to see you online.  

Please note the slight adjustments to the counselor assignments. We had to adjust to make the distribution more even. We know it can be hard to shift, (hard for us, too!) but we hope this means better access for everyone. We will be posting links to calendars soon. In the meantime, email is the best way to reach us.

Class Schedules
Please go to the schedule that is in Aeries unless notified of a change. The first four days of school will be focused on school-wide curriculum presented in Academy cohorts. Schedule change requests will re-open on August 12. As always, the priority is fixing errors and everything is subject to space available.

Counselors are working from home and are still here to support our students. We miss seeing our students! Please contact us if you have questions or want to check in. 

DVC summer classes:  Diablo Valley College (DVC) published a schedule of summer classes. It looks like they are preparing to offer all summer classes online. If your student is looking to take a college course for enrichment purposes, it could be a good opportunity. Students need to apply to DVC online ahead of time. Check back with DVC after May 4 for a paperless concurrent enrollment process.

Transcripts Students can still request official transcripts on the webstore here. Our registrar is processing requests regularly. Unofficial transcripts can be requested from our registrar or a counselor.  

We want to remind you of some valuable community resources: 

• For non-life threatening mental health support: Contra Costa Crisis Center. Call 211  or text HOPE to 20121 available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for mental health needs.  
• www.211cc.org can help you reach other community resources. 
• In the event of a mental health emergency, please contact 911.  

As a reminder, here are the counselor assignments and emails.  Counselors prefer using the auhsdschools.org email but School Loop messages are also fine.
