PHILOSOPHY OF THE SCHOOL COUNSELING DEPARTMENT

The Ramsey Public School District School Counseling Program supports student achievement through a comprehensive, developmentally appropriate, and equitable program that address the academic, career, and personal/social growth of all students.  In partnership with students, staff, parents/guardians, and the community, school counselors facilitate and assess the effectiveness of the program to assist all students in acquiring the competencies needed for constructive participation in a complex, global society.  

The school counselors will provide a positive, caring, and intellectually stimulating environment to encourage students to develop the skills and values to become self-directed, self-fulfilled, resilient, empathic, curious, agile, collaborative, and innovative life-long learners.
