The San Bernardino Unified School District believes that all students are entitled to receive the benefits of a comprehensive school counseling program from kindergarten through grade 12.

Credentialed school counselors advocate for educational opportunity, equity, and access to programs and services so that every student is challenged and supported to achieve his or her highest potential. Counselors ensure that all students and parents / guardians are informed about and understand the full range of educational options.

Counseling Benefits
School counselors are a vital link to academic, career, and personal social development for all students at all grade levels. As a member of the school district’s counseling and guidance staff, the school counselor provides a comprehensive counseling and guidance program for all students in alignment with the California Standards for the School Counseling Profession and The National Counseling Standards.

School counselors at all levels provide support for students through classroom guidance lessons, group counseling sessions, individual counseling sessions, consultation with parents and teachers, and through collaboration with community resources. Counseling guidance lessons taught by school counselors in the classroom are intended to give students the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that lead to academic, career, and personal / social development.
