February 2nd to 6th marks National School Counseling Week, a time to recognize and celebrate the essential role school counselors play in supporting students across Anglophone North School District.
This year’s theme, Hope in Every Hallway, reflects the daily presence and impact of school counselors in creating safe, welcoming, and supportive school environments. From academic planning to social emotional support and crisis intervention, school counselors work behind the scenes to ensure students feel supported and able to succeed.
“National School Counseling Week, February 2nd to 6th, is the perfect time to show your appreciation, but a heartfelt thank-you is always in welcome. School counselors are the ‘unrecognized heroes’ of the education system, balancing social-emotional support, academic planning, and crisis intervention. School Counselors play a vital role in supporting our students and ensuring our students feel safe and welcomed in school. Thank you to all of our School Counselors in ASD-N for their hard work and dedication to the profession.”
Shelley Ward, ESS Coordinator, ASD-N
Throughout ASD-N schools, counselors provide critical support to students by fostering a sense of belonging, guiding academic decision making, and responding during times of need. Their work helps ensure that every hallway is a place where students feel cared for and supported.
ASD-N thanks all school counselors for their professionalism, compassion, and commitment to students, families, and school communities.
