GUIDANCE SERVICES
The Board of Education believes that guidance/counseling can assist pupils in achieving their optimum development; enable pupils to draw the greatest benefit from the offerings of the instructional program of the schools; aid pupils in identifying options and making choices in vocational and academic educational planning; assist pupils in career awareness and planning; help integrate all the pupil’s experience so that he/she can better relate school activity to life outside the school, and help pupils learn to make their own decision and solve problems independently. An informal program of guidance/counseling shall be offered to all pupils in grades kindergarten through five and shall be the responsibility of the classroom teacher and principal who may draw upon the services of other staff members, as they are required. The program of guidance/counseling offered pupils in grades six through 12 shall involve the coordinated efforts of all staff members under the professional leadership of certified guidance/counseling personnel. Disruptive and disaffected pupils require intensive guidance/counseling. Help should be sought from the child study team whenever a pupil is identified as having significant behavior problems.
