School Counseling Mission Statement: The mission of the Meadowcreek Elementary School counseling program is to empower each and every student to pursue academic and behavioral excellence to help them reach their full potential and become contributing members of a diverse society. Through a comprehensive school counseling program that prioritizes equity by removing barriers and providing a safe and engaging environment, students build essential skills for academic, career, social/emotional, and leadership success. School counselors at Meadowcreek Elementary School collaborate with teachers, parents, and community stakeholders to advocate for each and every student to have access to educational opportunities that will maximize their potential, resulting in measured improvement against local, national, and world-class standards.
Our program is modeled after the ASCA National Model. The ASCA National Model guides school counselors in the development of school counseling programs that:
- are based on data-informed decision making
- are delivered to all students systematically
- include a developmentally appropriate curriculum focused on the mindsets and behaviors all students need for postsecondary readiness and success
- close achievement and opportunity gaps (see how equity is woven into the ASCA National Model)
- result in improved student achievement, attendance and discipline
