Counselors will be provided at all school sites (1 at each elementary and 2 at the Junior High) dedicated to offering assistance and services to students requiring support for mental health and overall well-being.
The effectiveness of this action will be monitored through metrics such as student utilization of counseling services, changes in student well-being indicators (Metric 3.11), and feedback from students and families (Metris 3.2 and 3.11). Tracking the number of students accessing counseling services and the frequency of counseling sessions will provide insight into the reach and utilization of mental health support services across the district. Additionally, monitoring changes in student well-being indicators, such as self-reported feelings of distress or improvements in coping skills, will enable us to assess the impact of counseling interventions on student mental health outcomes. Furthermore, gathering feedback from students and families on their experiences with counseling services, including the perceived effectiveness of interventions and overall satisfaction with support received, will provide valuable insights into the impact of counselors on student well-being and overall success. By collecting and analyzing these metrics, we can ensure that counseling services effectively address the identified needs of underserved student populations and contribute to their mental health and academic success within our district.
