SEMS Guidance Mission Statement: |
Due to the unique demands of the Department of Defense environment, the purpose of the guidance program at SEMS is to ensure all students acquire the attitude, knowledge and skills to participate constructively and contribute in a multicultural and transient society. These attributes will be developed in partnership with our families and community agencies. |

Molly O'Donnell, Grades 3 - 5 Guidance Counselor |
The SEMS Guidance Program is developmental, and an integral part of our classroom education. Although we have school counselors who manage the guidance program, it is our teachers who assist students daily in the areas of self-understanding, respect, and social skills. Our counselors are committed to the Competency Based Guidance model which means they write annual guidance goals for students. Our counselors understand the hardship which transition (deployment, frequent PCS, etc.) may cause. Therefore, a centerpiece of the Guidance Program addresses dealing with separation and change.
Our counselors focus upon students, but they are also a valuable resource for parents. Parenting classes, parent discussion groups, and private consultations (developing child management strategies) are some additional guidance activities.
