February 2 - 6 is National School Counseling Week.
School counselors are key leaders in promoting student achievement, well-being, and future readiness. Their work extends far beyond scheduling and includes:
- Supporting students’ academic growth through goal setting, progress monitoring, and problem-solving
- Providing social-emotional support that helps remove barriers to learning
- Guiding students in college and career planning, ensuring they are prepared for life beyond graduation
- Collaborating with teachers, families, and administrators to build systems of support for all students
- Responding to student needs in times of crisis and helping create safe, supportive school environments
Their efforts truly amplify the success of our students by ensuring every child has access to the tools, resources, and encouragement needed to thrive.
Thank you Ms. Rivers!
