Mission Statement:

The mission of the Redlands Unified School District Elementary School Counselors is to provide an equitable, developmentally appropriate, and data-driven, comprehensive school counseling program that is accessible to all students. School Counselors aim to close the achievement gap by utilizing a multi-tiered system of support to meet the needs of the whole child, empowering them through social-emotional learning, academic development, and career exploration. School Counselors build a partnership with teachers, parents, students, administrators, and members of the community to advocate for a positive school climate, equipping students with the skills necessary to confront the challenges of our changing world.

Vision Statement:

Students who experience the RUSD Elementary Comprehensive Counseling Program successfully manage their lives as healthy, responsible, and productive 21st century leaders who respect themselves and others. They fulfill their dreams through problem solving, critical thinking, innovation, and are contributing members of society. Our students are college and career ready, as 21st century lifelong learners, adapting to life’s challenges in a positive and healthy manner.
