Counseling
Our counselors, deans and support staff help every student succeed academically, socially and emotionally.
Our vision
I.S. 93 will foster a top-notch learning environment where all parents and students would be proud of their education and learning experience. All students will have equal access to a safe, caring, and orderly school. Through the collaborative efforts of the community, school personnel, and peers, students will excel academically, socially, and emotionally.
Our mission
To successfully prepare all of our students for the rigors of high school, college and the world of 21st century careers. Our students will have the opportunity to follow their passions and explore personal interests while becoming well-rounded, global citizens. Students, staff, and the community will work together to help every child realize their potential to become motivated, responsible citizens and lifelong learners.
Who is your go-to person when you need help?
It may be a favorite teacher, the assistant principal, the dean, the guidance counselor, the safety agent, the nurse, the parent coordinator, a school aide, a paraprofessional, or a secretary. When in doubt, see the dean, the guidance counselor, or the assistant principal.
Feeling ill
If you're sick or injured and need medical attention, see Nurse Genna in room 214. As a general rule, get a pass from your teacher first. The nurse will contact your parent or guardian and a school administrator for serious situations.
Having trouble with another student
Go to your grade dean right away for help resolving any problems. The dean's role is to support students who may have a conflict so things do not get worse.
Facing challenges at home or need an adult to talk to
Your guidance counselor is trained to help with matters dealing with family life and personal feelings. The important thing is to share with your counselor right away. Do not wait.
Getting to school on time and keeping up with school work
Students who come to school every day and on time usually do well. If you are late often, the dean and guidance counselor can help you improve. If a class is difficult, talk to your teachers; they can help you make a game plan to do better.
