February 5-9, 2024 is School Counseling Week!
National School Counseling Week highlights the tremendous impact school counselors can have in helping students achieve school success and plan for a career.
The special week honoring school counselors provides recognition for school counselors who implement comprehensive school counseling programs, a vital part of the educational process for all students as they meet the challenges of the 21st century.
School counselors are always actively engaged in helping students examine their abilities, strengths, interests and talents; working in a partnership with parents as they encounter the challenges of raising children in today’s world. We thank our school counselors for focusing on positive ways they enhance students’ academic, career and social/emotional development while working with teachers and other educators to provide opportunities where students can realize their potential and set healthy, realistic and optimistic aspirations for themselves.
School counselors are certified, experienced educators with a master’s degree in school counseling. The combination of their training and experience makes them an integral part of the total educational program.
School counselors work with all students to remove barriers to learning by addressing students’ academic concerns, career options and social/emotional skills. In Elmira, school counseling programs help to increase student achievement and provide a much-needed resource for students, parents, teachers and administrators. School counselors are integral to student success.
Thank you, school counselors!
