District Counseling Plan

A school counselor’s role is central to the success of students. School counselors support students through individual and group counseling, college and career exploration instruction, assistance in crisis situations, and referrals to school social workers, school psychologists or other professionals when specialized interventions are required for student success in school. 

Beginning with the 2019-2020 school year, each school district shall have a comprehensive developmental school counseling/guidance program for all students in grades kindergarten (K) through grade 12.  Each school district shall also ensure that all students in grades kindergarten through twelve have access to a certified school counselor(s).

Beginning with the 2019-2020 school year, for students in grades six through twelve, certified school counselors shall provide an annual individual progress review plan, which shall reflect each student’s educational progress and career plans. For a student with disability, the plan shall be consistent with the student’s individualized education program.

The Dunkirk City School District plan is posted below.  Please contact any of the school counselors for additional information.
