School Counseling
Bishop Hartley’s School Counseling Departments consists of four full-time counselors. Each student at Bishop Hartley is assigned a School Counselor, with whom they work with for the duration of their high school career. This continuity allows for the counselor to get to know the students and their interests.
With a student to counselor ratio of 252:1, our Comprehensive School Counseling program is structured to serve students in academic, social, emotional, and vocational capacities. Over the years, classroom developmental curriculum has included college and career assessments and research, a mental health support program through Nationwide Children’s Hospital, and a Freshmen Focus program to help our students transition into high school, just to name a few. The counselors meet one-on-one with students to discuss strategies for becoming more successful in their educational experience.

Work Permits
WORK PERMITSHere is how can students go about obtaining a work permit under Ohio’s Minor Labor Laws if schools are closedAccording to the Ohio Department of Commerce, if a minor has all necessary paperwork completed and is unable to get the permit processed due to school closure, the completed paperwork may itself stand in the place of the physically printed permit. Employers should keep the paperwork on file, just like they would the permit. The formal permit should be processed as soon as the school is reopened.As a reminder, hour restrictions outlined in Ohio Revised Code Section 4109 are still in place for any week that was not a pre-planned school holiday (i.e., spring break) and the prohibited/hazardous occupation restrictions are still active.Click here to download the Work Permit.With the nurse also being out they will have to get a physician's signature.
