Inspiring Growth, Empowering Success
Pupil Services supports students’ academic success, attendance, health, safety, social-emotional well-being, and access to educational programs. We partner with families, schools, and community organizations to remove barriers to learning.
Supporting the success and well-being of every student is a district priority. To help students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally, the district provides access to school counselors and school psychologists in each school building. These professionals work closely with students, families, teachers, and administrators to identify needs, provide support, and connect students with appropriate resources.
We offer the services of school psychologists, school counselors, special education staff, and a district nurse to assist in consultation, referral, evaluation, and educational programming.
Mission Statement
The mission of the School District of Monroe’s School Counseling Program is to deliver a comprehensive, equitable, and developmentally responsive guidance and counseling program that empowers each and every student to achieve academic success, strengthen social-emotional skills, explore educational, career, and vocational pathways, and grow into responsible, resilient members of their communities.
Vision Statement
Every student will graduate with the knowledge, skills, and character to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally, and to successfully navigate postsecondary education, training, and career pathways.
