Our Mission

 

"The elementary school years set the foundation for developing the knowledge, attitudes and skills necessary for children to become healthy, competent and confident learners. Elementary school counselors have an impact on these years by implementing a school counseling program and collaborating with school staff, parents and the community to create a safe and respectful learning environment. Our comprehensive counseling program consists of classroom guidance, individual planning, responsive services, and systems support.

Our role is to help all students at Mills develop academic, career, personal and social abilities. We can be contacted to help students for a variety of reasons. These include assisting a student with transition to a new school, academic achievement concerns, crisis situations, and family transitions.
