Understanding Confidentiality
Understanding Confidentiality
As elementary school counselors, we ensure every student and family understands and acknowledges the limits of confidentiality and professional working student- and family-counselor relationship.
What students share in their one-on-one counseling sessions is privileged information with the exception of information that signals a safety concern, such as a student shares they want to hurt themselves, they want to hurt someone else, or someone is hurting them.
The 4th reason to not keep information private is if the student gives permission to share with another trusting adult, whether it be someone at school or home. With this consideration, it is important to note that counselors can share the skills and tools we've been using so that it can be reinforced in the home and in the classroom. School Counseling is all about creating safe spaces for children to express themselves and grow.
Mission Statement
Mission Statement
The mission of the Chaparral Elementary school counseling program is here to support every child's growth in academics, career readiness, and social-emotional skills. We use a multi-tiered system of supports - including classroom lessons, small group counseling, and individual counseling - to make sure each student has what they need to learn and thrive.
We believe in equity, access, and inclusion, so all students feel valued and capable of success. Counselors take on roles of leadership, advocacy, and collaboration to partner with families, staff, and the community. Together, we work for systemic change that removes barriers and helps every student reach their potential in school and in life as caring, responsible citizens.
