Counseling

The General Smallwood counselors encourage regular parent/teacher communication. We ask that parents contact the teacher directly with any concerns in their class before contacting the counselor or Mrs. Calacan to schedule a conference.

To schedule a conference or request make-up work, please call the Counseling Center secretary, Mrs. Calacan at (301) 753-1786.
