their academic life. Through data-driven initiatives our program provides students with the
personal, social, academic, and college/career preparation needed. Our program offers the
following services: individual and group counseling, crisis intervention, classroom guidance,

learning environment by working with administration, staff, parents, community members to
enhance our students development.

School Counseling Program Goals

The school counseling program will focus on the following achievement, attendance and/or behavior goals this year.
Details of activities promoting these goals are found in the curriculum, small-group and closing-the-gap action plans.

Program Goal Statements

prepare them for high school entrance exams. We wants students to be able to create and
