BCS Counseling

Mission & Goals

Welcome to Beverly Cleary School and the Beverly Cleary Counseling Center! Overall our role is to provide all students equitable access to a quality developmentally appropriate and comprehensive counseling program focused on academic success, personal and social development, and career and college counseling. Counselors, in partnership with teachers, students, parents, community members and administrators, will ensure that each and every student becomes a life-long learner and a respectful citizen of a diverse, multicultural, and international community. The school counseling program at Beverly Cleary is based on the American School Counseling Association National Model (ASCA) and Portland Public Schools Counseling Framework.
