We will create a culturally responsive environment where all students, staff and parents feel a part of the Potomac Middle School Community.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

School counselors are in the unique position to understand the needs of students and their families and to design and coordinate learning experiences to meet those needs. They are accountable for services to students, parents, and teachers and are knowledgeable concerning comprehensive school counseling. School counselors are committed to quality educational opportunities that promote success for all.

School counselors play an important role in the creation of an educational environment which facilitates the stated beliefs:

• ALL students are capable of high achievement and deserve to be surrounded by an environment of high expectations.
• ALL students have the right to opportunities for learning and developing skills for full participation in society.
• ALL students need access to knowledgeable individuals who are dedicated to providing a wide variety of educational and career options and are full partners in student development.
• ALL students, parents, educators, and members of the community share the responsibility for the general welfare and success of each individual.
• ALL students have the right to a safe, respectful school environment.
