Vision & Mission
The Kingsley Elementary School Counseling Program will empower all students to reach their fullest potential through the use of a comprehensive school counseling program that addresses the necessary skills needed to reach academic success, social-emotional growth, and college and career readiness. Students will gain the tools to successfully manage their lives as healthy, responsible, compassionate, and productive citizens who respect themselves and others.
The Mission of the Kingsley Elementary School Counseling Program is to provide equitable access to a data-driven comprehensive program that addresses the academic, social-emotional, and college and career needs of all of our students through our Multi-Tier, Multi-Domain System of Support. The school counselor will actively seek opportunities to advocate and promote a positive school climate by providing school-wide activities, classroom lessons, small group instruction, individual counseling, and referrals for students in need of additional support. In collaboration with parents, teachers, administrators, and the local community, school counselors will help develop the student's foundational skills to become self-empowered, resilient, and compassionate individuals who have the capacity to appreciate diversity, achieve their goals, demonstrate social responsibility, and strive for life-long learning.
- All students will have access to a school counselor who advocates for their socio-emotional, academic, and college/career needs and interests.
