This process is meant to assist students in the development of their potential and their decisions relating to personal, educational and vocational matters. Guidance is based upon these broad fundamental principles. Individuals are different from one another in their capabilities, aptitudes, interests, needs, goals, desires and values. Conditions are improvable. Equality of educational opportunity benefits the individual and society.
Guidance is a continual and developmental process.
Guidance services include a wide variety of testing programs and interpretation of results to students, parents and staff. These programs assist students in developing good study habits and personal guidance which is in keeping with the principles of human dignity and equality. A written guidance plan is developed to provide systematic aid to students in kindergarten through 12th grade regarding educational, career, civic, personal and social concerns including the harmful effects of drugs, alcohol and tobacco. This plan provides for appraisal of students' academic abilities, a variety of counseling opportunities and approaches, educational and career planning and when necessary, appropriate referral. The plan is periodically evaluated and submitted to the Board for adoption.
