BSS School Counseling Vision Statement
In support of Federal Way Pubic Schools Strategic Plan Goals, the school counseling program is designed to promote a safe and welcoming climate that empowers all scholars to be positive, productive members of society with strong academic, social and emotional skills and attitudes necessary for success. Scholars will be nurtured in their abilities to achieve at the highest levels by encouraging involvement of all stakeholders to work in partnership in order to contribute to scholar’s academic achievement. Through the lifelong learning skills acquired, scholars will continue to explore their intellectual, artistic, technological, physical, social, and character development.
