MISSION STATEMENT

 The mission of the school counseling department at Sully Elementary School is to empower all students to meet their highest achievement by creating a safe environment that cares for the physical, emotional, social, academic, and career needs of all students. Counseling services will equip students with the social and emotional skills required to make successful and meaningful contributions to their communities by educating and personally connecting with students through classroom counseling, small group counseling, and individual counseling.

VISION STATEMENT

The Sully Elementary School Counseling Program envisions that all students become productive community members and successful life-long learners.  All students will be provided with emotional management skills, adaptive social skills, and career and academic planning. The whole child will be developed to equip students to set goals, develop their strengths, maintain positive personal and professional relationships, maintain healthy emotional and cognitive habits, respect diversity, and find personal and professional success throughout their lifespans. 

We believe:

All students can learn.

All students and staff should be treated with dignity and respect. 

All students can achieve academic success. 

All students and staff should have access to school counseling program supports.

Needs should be met according to what is fair, not equal. 

All students are entitled to comprehensive, development, data driven, and preventative counseling services consistent with the American School Counseling Association (ASCA) National Model. 

All students and staff have the right to be serviced by a state licensed school counselor. 

It is the responsibility of the school counselor to advocate for students and staff. 

It is the responsibility of the school counselor to serve as a leader in areas of behavioral, emotional, and mental health expertise in the school.

Loudoun County Public Schools implement a county-wide bullying prevention program to teach students how to identify bullying behavior and appropriate ways to solve possible bullying concerns. LCPS School Counselors provide a Bullying Prevention curriculum (through Second Step) which is delivered to all students in Kindergarten through 5th grade. This evidence-based program provides students with four bullying prevention lessons each year. The lesson focuses on 3R’s, and teaches students how to Recognize, Report, and Refuse bullying behavior. 

Sully Elementary School’s Unified Mental Health Team (UMHT) – comprised of school counselors, psychologist, and social worker – offers mental health services and supports to enhance student social, emotional, and behavioral growth. This team of school-based mental health professionals works with students, families, school staff, and outside providers to promote a positive school environment that supports student success and ability to cope with challenges through direct (e.g., classroom curriculum, group counseling and individual counseling) and indirect (e.g., collaborating or consulting with staff, families or communities) methods.
