School Counseling Department

The mission of Oakview Elementary’s School Counseling Department is to provide a comprehensive, developmental counseling program addressing the academic, career, and personal/social development of all students.

School counseling services can contribute to the personal growth, educational development, and emotional well-being of students. Research suggests that counseling services can have long-term effects on a child's well-being, prevent a student from turning to violence, and improve a student's academic achievement. Studies on the effects of school counseling have shown positive effects on students' grades, reducing classroom disruptions, and enhancing teachers' abilities to manage classroom behavior effectively.
