Gravely School Counseling Program
The Gravely Elementary School Counseling Program is designed to meet the needs of all students and to be inclusive, preventive, and developmental in nature. Gravely school's counseling department designs and implements a comprehensive school counseling program that addresses the needs of the students and the school community that we serve. Gravely school counselors work with all stakeholders (students, parents, teachers, and staff) together to collaboratively partner in the educational process. The school counselors at Gravely ensure equitable academic, career, and social/emotional development opportunities for all students through classroom counseling instruction, individual and small group counseling, and appraisal and advisement activities.
The Gravely Elementary School Counseling Program is currently a Recognized ASCA Model Program (RAMP). The RAMP designation recognizes schools that are committed to delivering school counseling programs aligned with the ASCA National Model framework.
