MISSION

Creating a caring school community where every child can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally because every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and ready to learn. 

VISION

Every student graduates with the attitudes, knowledge, and skills to be successful in a wide variety of career pathways. Students seek challenging and meaningful experiences and are poised to excel as productive members of a diverse global community. 

ROLES OF A SCHOOL COUNSELOR

• Help students reach their full potential by exploring the abilities of the students, their strengths, and their interests as these traits relate to career awareness and development.

• Develop a comprehensive, holistic school counseling program (that identifies student needs, intervention plans, and implementation of supports) as an integral part of the educational process that promotes and enables all students to achieve success in school.

• Identify and utilize community resources that can enhance and complement the comprehensive, holistic counseling program and help students become productive members of society and achieve success in school.

• Utilize a multi-tiered multi-domain systems of support (MTMDSS) model to review data and collaborate with staff and families to identify, facilitate, and/or refer students to appropriate interventions and services, and to assess and address barriers to learning.

• Provide support / intervention to at-risk students who are declining in academics, attendance, and/or social-emotional learning using data to increase academic achievement.

WHY COUNSELING SERVICES ARE IMPORTANT IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Elementary school is a critical period for developing academic confidence, character values, and essential social-emotional skills. School counselors support this foundational growth through proactive education, prevention, and early intervention—empowering students to achieve academic success and preparing them for middle school and beyond.
