Counseling Office Hours are from 8:00am-8:25am on school days.

Please drop-in with questions and other business that can be addressed in approximately 5-10 minutes. Or just to say hello.

If you not get admitted to the Zoom, please wait; I may only be able to see one student at a time, depending on what we're working on. If you are unable to see me during the window, please try again another day, submit a Counseling Referral Form, or e-mail me at DanaParola@iusd.org.

Please complete the Counseling Referral Form to refer someone (or yourself) to be contacted by Plaza Vista. This is for non-emergencies only. Please note: the form is only checked during school hours.

If this is an emergency or is life threatening, you need to immediately talk to a trusted adult and/or call 9-1-1.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to either and/or both of us with any questions or concerns. If needed, we can help you connect to the appropriate supports.
