Guidance

The School District of Ashland has skilled and caring guidance counselors who are available to help students have a successful school year. They work with students, parents, teachers and administrators in many ways through a program of many services. Each service is aimed at helping children learn and develop to their highest potential. Some of the services in the School Counseling Program include:

• Providing personal/social growth counseling through individual and group counseling. These sessions include academic success, understanding self and others, social skills, decision-making, conflict resolution and goal setting.

• Classroom guidance using the Developmental Guidance Model. This allows the guidance counselor to reach a wide range of students throughout the school.

• Assisting parents by effectively communicating with and involving parents in improving student performance centered on the academic and personal growth of children.
