In Denton ISD, we are committed to supporting your child's academic success and overall well-being. As part of our comprehensive school counseling and support services program, students may have access to a certified school counselor and/or school-based support staff. These services align with the Texas Education Code (TEC §33.005), the Texas Model for Comprehensive School Counseling Programs, and SB 12 (2025), which now requires parent or guardian permission for students to receive the same counseling and social services support we've always provided.

What Support May Include:

● Setting academic goals and creating academic plans ● Developing social and emotional skills ● Checking in about emotions, challenges, or concerns ● Learning coping strategies and managing stress ● Addressing school-related issues (e.g., attendance, test anxiety, behavior, peer conflict) ● Building friendship and conflict-resolution skills ● Participating in short-term individual or group sessions on school-related topics*

*Parents/guardians will be notified and asked for additional consent if group counseling is recommended.

Please Note These school-based supports are not therapy and do not include psychological diagnosis, evaluation, or treatment. If such services are needed, information about appropriate community resources will be made available.

Working in Partnership With You

Our goal is to partner with you in your child's development. We will reach out to you if there are significant concerns or recommendations for additional support. You may withdraw your consent at any time by notifying us in writing. If an urgent issue arises during the school day, a staff member (teacher, counselor, nurse, or administrator) may check in with your child to ensure safety and support, and we will follow up with you as soon as possible.

If you have questions or would like to meet with your child's counselor (Candice Hutchings), please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you for allowing us to partner with you to support your child's academic and emotional success.
