School Counseling Vision Statement

The mission of the Hillsboro Elementary School is to provide high quality, comprehensive school counseling services to all students.  The program is designed to help all students develop and enhance their academic, social, career, and personal strengths in order to become responsible and productive citizens.  There is a commitment to individual uniqueness and the maximum development of personal potential. 

​

Through the skillful use of strategic, timely, and personal interventions, the counselor customizes educational experiences in order to enhance capabilities, close achievement gaps among high and low performing groups, and support positive choices.

As the school counselor I provide many services for students.  For classroom guidance lessons I meet with each class every other week.  My lessons vary each week but are based on counseling standards.  For each lesson a Parent's Page that explains each lesson is sent home with students.  Parents are encouraged to read and discuss this with their children to hear what was learned and talk about how the skill can be incorporated at home.  Group interventions, such as regulating emotions or practicing social skills are provided to students.  Individual counseling is available as well.  Homework Club is offered to students in grade 2-6 after school.

​

As the RTI coordinator I collaborate with the RTI team and help write plans that provide academic and behavioral interventions according to students' individual needs.  The goal is to help at-risk learners close performance gaps with peers.
