February 7-11 is National School Counseling Week. "School counselors work with all students to remove barriers to learning by addressing students' academic concerns, career options and social/emotional skills. They help to increase student achievement and provide a much-needed resource for students, parents, teachers and administrators. School counselors are integral to student success." - Jill Cook, ASCA executive director.
We will be celebrating and honoring our school counselors and social workers all week long by highlighting them and what they do.
Thank you school counselors and social workers!
