BRMS students may request to talk to a counselor by filling out a yellow Counselor Request Form (available in all classrooms, in the front lobby & on the Guidance and Student Services home page) and submitting the form at the Front Desk. They may also request to see a counselor by submitting a Google form from their Chromebook.
