Parkside Elementary School Counseling Mission

The Parkside Elementary School counseling program equitably empowers all students, staff, and community members to maximize individual academic, social, and emotional growth as members of a growing and responsive restorative school community. Our program serves all students and, in collaboration with school staff, parents/guardians, and community resources, works to ensure they have the tools they need to reach their full potential.

Parkside Elementary School Counseling Vision

The Parkside Elementary School counseling program equitably empowers students to use their unique and personal talents, gifts, creativity, and knowledge to have a positive and innovative impact on their community with a restorative and equitable problem solving framework. This will empower all students to be lifelong learners who strive for success in school and beyond, while encouraging others to do the same.

Here at Parkside, we believe that:

• All children have intrinsic value

• All children have a passion for learning that can be nurtured and grown

• All children are worthy of love

• All children deserve a learning environment that is safe, supportive, and appropriately challenging

• All children have emotions that are valid and beautiful
