    During the closure of schools due to the health emergency, the Clifton School Counseling Department will be operating virtually. School counselors can be reached during regular school business hours via email as they will be checking their emails periodically. Virtual meetings through Google Hangouts can also be arranged. To schedule an appointment, parents/guardians and students can email their school counselor directly to find a mutually agreed upon date/time.
