Penn Yan Academy offers student support services via Guidance Counselors, a Career Counselor, a Social Worker, and an Attendance Officer. Each have contributed to the creation of this Guidance Web-Site. Below you will find a brief description of the services offered by:
Guidance Counselors – Services are available to students, parents, and staff. The assistance provided is student oriented and may be personal, academic, career and/or college related. Includes parent, teacher, and community agency consultation and referrals.
School Psychologist – Through counseling, evaluation and consultation, the school psychologist assists students, parents, teachers and other professionals regarding the socio-emotional well being of students. A key role involves academic/achievement assessments & recommendations for the Committee on Special Education.
Social Worker – Services focus on students' social-emotional needs and family situations that impact school attendance and performance. Referrals are made when there is a need for intense or ongoing intervention both in and out of the school building (home and agency visits).
