Please feel free to call me at school anytime(476-8246)or you may 
email me at dnerren@clevelandschools.org if you would like for me to see your

If my child receives counseling, how can I know what is going on?

A notice of counseling form will be sent home for a parent to sign if a child 
is going to receive counseling on a regular basis. A key element of the 
counselor-student relationship is confidentiality. I will, however, be glad 
to share general progress of the counseling sessions and any pertinent 
information I feel I can share without breaking the confidentiality of the 
relationship.

If I feel my child needs professional counseling, how can the counselor help?

I will be happy to give you names of professional counselors who work with 
children and assist you with making appointments, if necessary. Cleveland 
City Schools also now has a Learning Support Specialist who coordinates and 
helps families to gain access to counseling and other services outside the 
school system. Please contact me if I can help with this.
