Mission

 

The mission of William V. Wright Elementary School counseling program is to provide a safe, supportive, and enlightening environment where students have the opportunity to freely express themselves, enrich their social and academic potential and grow to become responsible members of our diverse community.

 

Effectiveness of School Counseling

School counselors provide counseling programs in three domains:

  • Academic

  • Career

  • Personal/Social

Their services and programs help students resolve emotional, social or behavioral problems and help them develop a clearer focus or sense of direction. Effective counseling programs are important to the school climate and a crucial element in improving student achievement.
