Counseling Services
Our counselors help eliminate barriers to success by facilitating access to information, resources and support services appropriate to each student's needs.
About counseling
We are dedicated to promoting a positive school environment and improving the academic achievement of all students. Individual and group counseling is provided to students whose personal concerns or problems put their personal, social, career and/or educational development at risk.

Special Needs safety decals
The Rowlett Police Department is working with our district to help keep students safe. They have provided special stickers for families to use on their homes and vehicles to help police officers during encounters with community members who are non-verbal, have a mental, emotional or intellectual disability, or have a different special need.
Use of the stickers is voluntary. To request a sticker or get more information, ask a Responsive Services counselor, your school counselor, or email askcounseling@garlandisd.net.
Report child abuse
Texas law requires that any person suspecting that a child has been abused or neglected must immediately make a report. If there is an emergency, call 911 and then call the DFPS Texas Abuse Hotline at 1-800-252-5400. You can also make a report online. If you need assistance, talk to your school counselor.
