Students….If you have been referred for Lifeways services by the school, guidance staff, parents/guardians, teen court, diversion or probation or even if you are self referring PLEASE follow the instructions posted on Mrs. Schefcik’s door to make an appointment. Central’s Lifeways office is a busy place and most days Mrs. Schefcik’s door is shut because she’s in session not because she’s not here. PLEASE follow the instructions on her door which will direct you to leave a note under her door or to call the Lifeways Secratary at 716-6555 to make an appointment. Without making an appointment your chances of getting in by just continuously and randomly dropping by probably won’t pay off and you may not meet you court sensitive deadlines or get the help or support you need in a timely fashion. 2/24
