Our Mission:
We the counselors, at Bob Beard Elementary provide students with knowledge, tools and strategies to cope with challenges.
Our Vision:
Students will learn to balance their social and emotional well being.
Our Beliefs:
- All children are unique and should be treated with respect and dignity.
- Every student can succeed when provided the right support and encouragement.
- Learning is a lifelong process that requires risk-taking and a positive growth mindset.
- Fostering a positive self-image is the collaborative effort of the school, home, and community, and is necessary for students to reach their full academic, social and emotional potential.
- The diverse needs of all students must be addressed through the school counseling program.
- A comprehensive , developmentally appropriate school counseling program provides important benefits to individual students by addressing their academic, social and emotional needs.
- A comprehensive, developmental school counseling program is not a support service but an integral part of the total education program.
