Social and Emotional Supports - School counselors support the social and emotional wellbeing of students by providing short-term individual counseling and small group counseling, crisis response, as well as implementation of suicide prevention programs.
Systemic Program Management - School counselors provide indirect student services to effectively implement a comprehensive, systemic school counseling program and promote equity and access for all students through consultation, collaboration, and referrals.
In addition to these critical competencies, school counselors schedule students using the district SIS system, assist the administration in building school climate and culture, and perform other duties as assigned.
