Guidance & Student Services
The West Essex Regional School District Guidance Department is available throughout the day to assist students with a variety of issues, concerns and requests.
The mission of the guidance program is to provide a comprehensive, developmental counseling program addressing the academic, career and personal/social development of all students. Counselors will work with educators, parents or guardians, and the community to facilitate a support system, ensuring that all students attending West Essex are prepared to perform at the highest level and become contributing members of society.
