Guidance Department
Guidance provides
students with career and life choice advice. The counseling staff
assists students in developing a realistic appraisal of their
abilities, achievements, interests, and values. By learning about
themselves the students become aware of the consequences of actions.
To help in career choices the Guidance Department maintains a
library of catalogs and technical information including post secondary
education opportunities through the baccalaureate level.

According to State law, “Children under fifteen years of age may be employed in agriculture, domestic service, and certain other specified occupations. No such child may be employed in any store or factory, theatre, bowling alley, barbershop, or similar institution. At age fifteen, students may obtain employment at any mercantile establishment, as bagger, cashier, or stock clerk. However, this employment may only be during school vacation (five or more consecutive days when school is not in session) or on Saturdays.” See the Department of Labor web site (http://www.ctdol.state.ct.us/) for more detailed information. Everyone between fifteen and eighteen years of age must obtain working papers for either part-time or full-time employment. Minors applying for working papers must present their birth certificates and a "promise of employment" from the employer. Working papers are issued by counselors in the guidance office during regular school hours, Monday through Friday. SAT INFORMATION Go
