The Counseling Office is generally staffed from 7:40 am to 4:00 pm.

Students and parents can schedule an appointment to see their counselor by contacting Margarita Dominguez, the counseling office secretary, at 558-2650, 558-2515, or mdominguez@ausdk12.org

Requests for transcripts and work permits go directly to Ms. Dominguez.

Counselors are assigned to individual students based on an alphabetical division of the student body. Counselor assignment is based on “LAST NAME.”

We are available to facilitate communication among students, teachers, parents and other members of the school community. We provide personal assistance to students in crisis and help families with referrals for further individual and family support when appropriate. If difficult family circumstances arise during the school year, such as an illness or loss in the family, we can help communicate such important information to teachers. In addition, we provide information about graduation requirements, college admissions and other post-graduation options.

When a student or parent has a specific question about a class or a grade, it is best to first contact the teacher directly. If assistance is needed in continuing a dialogue, we can step in and help.

For questions related to tutoring or career development contact Becca Burns at 558-2508 or bburns@ausdk12.org
