The Counseling Department, in support of the mission of the Mount Greylock Regional School District, serves as an integral part of the school community: to enhance and support the learning environment for students and to help them achieve academic and social-emotional development, and to also aid in career planning and workplace readiness. It is our mission to be proactive in nature, serve as advocates to students and parents, and work in collaboration with other entities within the school and the community in which we serve.
1. How do I get my PowerSchool login? Visit the Counseling office during Break or Directed Study if you need your login information.
2. How do I schedule a meeting with my school counselor? Stop by the Counseling Office to schedule an appointment or email your counselor.
3. Is it too late to drop a class? Add/drop is open the first three days of each semester, after which only level changes can occur. With that said, please don't hesitate see your school counselor if you have concerns about your schedule.
4. How do I obtain a Work Permit? Once you’ve secured a job, come see Mrs. Balawender to complete a work permit application and bring it to the Counseling office during school hours with your birth certificate or passport.
5. I am going away and will miss more than three days of school. What do I need to do? Pick up an Extended Absence form from your counselor prior to leaving. Meet with your teachers to discuss and record how to make up missing class work. Submit the form to your school counselor once complete. (Please note that filling out the form does not excuse absences. Vacations, etc. still count as unexcused absences per the student handbook.)
6. How do I request my transcript? Current students should fill out the transcript request form, which can be found in the Counseling office on the bookshelf, and submit it to your counselor. When school isn't in session, email your counselor directly.Post-graduates should click the link for Transcript Request below.
7. How do I track my volunteer hours? You can request a Volunteer Tracking Slip from Mrs. Balawender in order to keep track of any volunteering hours you serve. You should submit completed forms to our Athletic and Co-Curricular Director Ms. Von Holtz.
8. How do I find a job or volunteering opportunity? Please refer to our regularly updated Student Opportunities Dashboard, which is also linked and summarized in each Counseling Newsletter. If you know of an opportunity we’re missing, please share it with us!
