Counselors and Family Services

As Pottstown School District schools are being ordered to continue with closures to hands help slow the rapid spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19), many families may be feeling anxious and on edge. Although our school buildings are closed to students and staff, the district remains committed to serving the Pottstown community and providing ongoing guidance and resources through this unprecedented situation.

While the support we are able to offer is limited in this current climate, we are eager to help. Those students who rely on their counselors for support are encouraged to reach out via email as they will be routinely checking emails. Any families that are looking for additional resources, please reach out to our family services coordinator.

Counselors/Family Services office hours: Monday - Friday 10:00am – 1:00pm
