School Counseling Program's Mission & Vision Statement
The counseling department at Michelle Obama Stem Elementary Academy's vision is to provide quality counseling, excellent interventions and prevention resource opportunities that will augment support for student endeavors.
Our mission is to advocate and promote an equitable school counseling comprehensive program by empowering students with the tools for college and career readiness.
Program Goals
School counselors use data to lay the foundation for the development, implementation and assessment of the school counseling program and interventions. Data sources include the school counseling needs assessment, the School Improvement Plan, SLDS and the School Report Card. The goals tha you see listed below were created based on the review of our school's data. These goals will drive the focus of the school counseling program.
Classroom Guidance
Classroom guidance lessons are provided to all students at least once a month. Topics are selected based on school data, our School Improvement Plan and the school counselor's yearly needs assessment survey to parents.
Teachers may sign-up for classroom guidance anytime.
