tvscd guidance mission statement

The Three Village Central School District is committed to improving the academic performance of all students and provides opportunities for students to reach their full potential. The district also supports students in building self-esteem, motivation and pride in a positive, safe and nurturing environment. 

School counselors assist students in the individual development and understanding of their behavior and self-worth. The aim of the counseling program is to encourage attainable goals, to assist in the design of positive strategies to accomplish these goals and to encourage increased self-direction. Together with parents, the school community and society, school counselors assist our young people in accepting responsibility which will enable them to assume contributory roles in our ever-changing society. 

With emphasis on self-direction and decision-making skills, the school counseling program serves to assist students in gaining a more realistic understanding of themselves and making viable educational and vocational choices.
