Program Mission:
The Budlong Elementary School Counseling Department helps prepare all students for success in high school and beyond by implementing a comprehensive, school-wide counseling program that promotes the intellectual, emotional, and social development of all students. Our ethical, data-driven counseling program maximizes student achievement in these areas.
Serving as leaders and advocates for all students, including those with special needs and limited English proficiency, the counseling department creates collaborative partnerships with school administration, staff, students, parents and supports within the community. The counseling department fully supports Budlong in teaching today’s learners to become tomorrow’s leaders.
