The WA Guidance Department has created a new class for the 2019-2020 school year called “Guidance Peer Assistants”. Students in this class will provide support to a student when his or her guidance counselor is unavailable. They will provide assistance to students facing a variety of challenges including: peer conflicts, academic stress, peer pressure, social stressors, stress from outside of school, trouble focusing, and can help students struggling with time management and organization.
Students selected for this course are required to attend a training in the Spring.
