Student Supports

 Counseling Department

School Counselors design and deliver school counseling programs that improve student outcomes. They lead, advocate, and collaborate to promote equity and access for all students by connecting their school counseling program to the school's academic mission and improvement plan.

School Social Worker

School Social Workers are trained mental health professionals with a degree in social work who provide services related to a person's social, emotional, and life adjustment to school and/or society. They link the home, school, and community, providing direct and indirect services to students, families, and school personnel to promote and support students' academic and social success.

Mission Statement

 

The IB Charter Wellness Team is dedicated to providing comprehensive resources to students and families, trauma-informed support, and family engagement opportunities to ensure every student feels valued, supported, and equipped to thrive. Through collaboration with families and community partners, we aim to be a beacon of holistic well-being, empowering students with the skills and confidence to succeed in all areas of their lives.

 

Vision Statement

Our vision is to create a compassionate and resilient school community where every student experiences equity, belonging, and the support necessary to reach their full potential.
