Counseling Team Mission Statement

The school counseling department at Roberto Clemente Community Academy will ensure equitable academic, career, postsecondary success and personal/social opportunities for all students through culturally competent services. Utilizing a comprehensive guidance curriculum, we will foster a sense of self awareness and a growth mindset in our students, aiming to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who will become successful contributors to a global and rapidly changing society.

RCCA’s counselors support

Individual Counseling
Students can meet individually with the counselor as needed. Students can be referred for individual counseling by parents, teachers, students, or by the counselor.
Group Counseling
Groups are developed to help target student development of skills such as self-esteem, team building, social skills, anger management, friendship, coping with grief, or organizational skills.
Systems Support
The school counselor is available for consultation with teachers, parents, and other professionals as needed. Collaboration can take place through individual conferences, group meetings. Counselors may also make referrals to outside resources for additional student assistance.
Responsive Services
The school counselor is available to assist students with the experience of a crisis. The counselor is also available to respond to any immediate issues or student concerns that happen during the school hours that prevent the student from actively participating and engaging in the classroom.

In a continued effort to ensure that CPS students are receiving the supports and services they need to be successful in college, career, and life, we are expanding the definition of post-secondary plans that will be part of a student’s graduation requirement and a school’s rating.
STUDENTS MUST HAVE AN EVIDENCE BASED CONCRETE PLAN IN ORDER TO GRADUATE!
Students will work with their School Counselor to define their concrete postsecondary plan, and provide them with evidence for this plan. All evidence will be uploaded on the student’s Naviance account through a “Journal Entry.” Please see your counselor ASAP with questions.
