Counseling Program Focus
The Newell-Fonda Community School uses the ASCA National Model to determine the role and functions of the school counselors.
Vision
Newell-Fonda students will develop mindsets and behaviors to demonstrate self-awareness and self-regulation in order to develop successful relationships, and make responsible decisions so that they can live healthy and productive lives.
We envision our students to be motivated to be compassionate, kind, empathetic, self-confident, and to positively impact our society by being problem solvers, contributors, communicators and leaders.
