School-Wide Activities

 
The goal of the Taylor Elementary School, Counseling Program is to ensure that every student achieves academic success, social-emotional growth, and develops the necessary knowledge, attitudes, and skills to set and achieve meaningful goals. To support this, the counseling department offers school-wide activities and classroom lessons that focus on academic, social-emotional, and college and career development for all students.

Confidentiality Statement


School Counselors have a primary obligation to ensure confidentiality with their client, the student. Any student working with the School Counselor has the right to privacy and the promise of confidentiality. In order to ensure meaningful and honest dialogue within the counseling relationship, the student must be able to have trust and confidence in their counselor. At the beginning of the school year, and prior to each session, all students and families are made aware of the confidentiality statement and exceptions. Exceptions to confidentiality exist in which the counselor must inform others of this information in order to prevent  "serious or foreseeable harm" to the student, others, or if "legally required".
