nursing services

Students at Rising Tide have access to a full-time registered professional school nurse. The School Nurse Leader works with the School Nurse and the Director of Wellness, Safety and Equity to oversee the health services in each school building during school hours. It is important for students and parents/guardians to communicate with the School Nurse Leader or School Nurse about any student health concerns or illness to ensure the safety of each individual and the entire school community.

counseling services

The school’s Adjustment Counselors work together with the Wellness Director and the Advisors to support the social and emotional growth of all students. Through advocacy, leadership, collaboration, and direct work with groups of students and individual students, the school’s Adjustment Counselors help provide a caring and productive atmosphere for students to achieve school success. 

The Adjustment Counselors support the Advisory Curriculum, run small group sessions with some students, and meet individually with some students. The major emphasis of the adjustment counseling program is helping students succeed in school through building healthy habits and relationships, developing strategies for overcoming challenges, and making responsible decisions. 

If you would like your child to be seen by one of our adjustment counselors, please contact one of our school adjustment counselors:
   Shannon Ahern, Middle School Adjustment Counselor
   Cassie Butler, Upper School Adjustment Counselor
