RCPS School Counseling Mission & Vision

As a key part of a child's education in Rockingham County, the elementary school counseling  program helps students develop healthy attitudes and appropriate life skills.  This program is intended to help all children, not just those who are having trouble.

Counselors use a planned approach to support healthy social, emotional and educational growth.  The plan includes helping children understand themselves and others, make wise choices, and become productive citizens of our society.  Because it is recognized that families, communities and schools are all important to a child's success, counselors promote supportive relationships between all of those involved in a child's life.
