School Counseling

School counselors help all students apply academic achievement strategies, manage emotions and apply interpersonal skills. School counselors' duties include providing individual student academic planning and goal setting, school counseling classroom lessons based on student success standards, short-term counseling to students, referrals for long-term support, collaboration with families/teachers/ administrators/ community for student success, advocacy for students at individual education plan meetings and other student-focused meetings, and data analysis (i.e., functional behavior assessments with the data given by the staff) to identify student issues, needs and challenges. In addition, school counselors will also help with the referral process if a student is in need for mental health services.
