Vision/Mission/Beliefs

The mission of the Kellogg Elementary School Counseling Program is to provide a data-driven comprehensive School Counseling Program that supports all students in reaching their academic, social-emotional, and college and career potential. This is accomplished through our Multi-Tiered, Multi-Domain System of Supports. The School Counselor will advocate, collaborate, and facilitate actions to promote a positive school climate that cultivates acceptance, empathy, and perseverance through school wide activities, classroom instruction, small groups, short-term individual counseling, and referrals for students in need of additional support. In collaboration with parents, administrators, teachers, additional school staff, the community, and various stakeholders, this will enable all students to become compassionate, productive, contributing citizens and lifelong learners in a diverse and ever-changing world.
