CSD School Counseling Mission Statement:

The Camas School District Comprehensive School Counseling Program enhances the learning process and cultivates a positive school culture that promotes personal growth and equips students with the skills to achieve academic, career, and social-emotional success across grade levels. School counselors will facilitate an evidence-based, developmentally appropriate program that advocates for equity, access, and success for all.

Our goal as school counselors is to support and advocate for students in the following domains:

Academic:

  • Provide support with managing learning needs and challenges that interfere with learning
  • Facilitate course scheduling that supports fulfillment of individual interests and engagement in meaningful learning and that meets high school graduation requirements

College and Career:

  • Provide guidance and support with exploring post-secondary educational and career opportunities
  • Support fulfilling the requirements for the High School and Beyond Plan

Well-being:

  • Support positive student engagement and social-emotional wellness in the school community
  • Provide short-term individual problem solving and assistance with goal setting
  • Provide referrals to and facilitate communication with local mental health providers and other community resources
  • Provide support during school-related mental health crises
