The TNS School Counseling Department vision statement is:
A world-class School Counseling Department that inspires and provides lessons in leadership as a foundation for all students to achieve success in life.
The School Counselors at The Nokesville School believe the following:
All students can achieve and be successful.
With a comprehensive school counseling program, we can address the developmental needs of every student.
School counselors are leaders who collaborate & coordinate opportunities for growth academically, socially, and emotionally in every student, which in turn prepares them for future success in career and life.
The school counselors, administration, staff, School Counseling Advisory Council, parents/guardians, and community all play an integral part in planning, managing, delivering and evaluating the school counseling program.
As part of a comprehensive school counseling program, data and research based programs are consistently used to guide program goals and the methods to achieve those goals.
School counselors apply the ASCA ethical standards for school counselors in the ongoing efforts to provide a world-class, comprehensive school counseling program.
TNS Mission Statement:
The School Counseling Department at The Nokesville School is aligned with particular mindsets and behaviors put forth by the American School Counseling Association, and then established by stakeholders such as students, teachers, families, and community members. The program also addresses standards for both the state of Virginia and Prince William County Public Schools.
Our mission is to deliver a comprehensive and culturally responsive school counseling program that assesses the strengths and needs of all students, staff and community; advocates for the diverse developmental needs of all students based on their learning styles; and collaborates with stakeholders to focus on academic, personal/social and career development. Through communication and building positive relationships, the department provides a safe and supportive environment so that all students achieve success in school and are prepared to lead fulfilling lives as responsible members of society in their desired post-secondary path.
