The focus of the Cohoes City School District's Counseling Department
is to provide a Developmental School Counseling Program consisting
of a comprehensive plan of academic, career, and personal
development. The program is an essential part of the total school
program and supports the goals established for all students.
Through a series of sequential and developmental activities, the
counselor ensures that he/she is meaningfully involved with each
student during each year of the middle school experience. In this
way the student is in the best position to learn, plan, and make
positive decisions with the ongoing support and assistance of a
school counselor.
A team approach is necessary for the overall success of a
comprehensive, developmental program that requires the involvement
of parents, staff members, and community organizations.
