Vision Statement
The students of Lovettsville Elementary are an important part of our community, and we believe it is imperative to their success to have collaboration between staff, parents, and the community. The school counseling program strives to support the students in the development of their creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and leadership. In addition, we hope that our students are kind and respectful to those they encounter at school, home, and to others out in the world. The program provides a developmentally appropriate, comprehensive approach to assist the students in preparing for future successes.
The Role of the School Counselor
Each student at Lovettsville Elementary will take part in the school guidance and counseling program. The school counselor is responsible for the organization and management of the program. The ASCA National Model provides the mechanisms with which the school counselor will design, coordinate, implement, manage, and evaluate the program for student success.
School counselors work with students, parents, teachers, and administrators to help students succeed in school and prepare for meaningful, productive living. The program is child-centered, developmental and preventative. It encourages students’ academics, social/emotional, and career awareness at the stage of their development. Counseling services are inclusive and respectful of differences in gender, religion, ethnicity, race, ability, socioeconomic status, disability, and age.
