GUIDANCE MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the School Counseling Program at Stephen Bell Elementary is to support the school community by developing and integrating a comprehensive guidance program that will assist students in academic, career and personal/social programs. This will allow children to develop a positive sense of self and become effective students, responsible citizens and lifelong learners.
I Believe:
-
All children are valuable and deserve respect.
-
All children can be taught appropriate behaviors and can learn and grow to reach their full potential, if given the right environment.
-
All children learn best when they feel good about themselves and their relationships with others.
-
All students should have equal access to counseling & guidance services.
-
The School Counselor is a resource and an advocate for all students, staff, parents and the community.
-
A School Guidance program should be comprehensive in scope, developmental in nature and preventative in design.
-
A School Guidance program should be intentional and include academic, career and personal/social components.
-
Positive relationships between students and adults are the key to student success.
