School Counseling Department Mission Statement
The mission of the Littlestown Area School District’s counseling program is to facilitate the academic, career, and personal/social development of all students.  Through a comprehensive K-12 developmental counseling program, we will provide equal access to services for all students to become productive citizens with the knowledge and skills necessary for college and career success.   

Guidance Services
The Alloway Creek Elementary School Counseling Program works with students in a variety of ways to help them during childhood, a time of great physical, social, intellectual, and emotional change.  The counseling program is designed to help students explore their strengths and weaknesses, attitudes, and  personal aspirations.  Students can be provided counseling services through individual counseling, group counseling, and classroom guidance lessons. 

School counseling is designed to assist students with minor emotional troubles which may be affecting their academics.  In addition, the program is set up to help students realize and achieve personal/social, academic, and career-related goals.  A proactive, preventative approach to counseling is stressed however, counseling is also provided during and after crises.  Referral sources for longer term counseling are available upon request.

Core Essential Values
We have adopted the Core Essentials Values program. It is used in our school to help CREATE A CULTURE of caring, respect and personal responsibility. When you create a culture, you start a MOVEMENT that can create lasting values among students, teachers, families and our community. We simply use a definition – that all can understand – and a framework that are easily implemented and allow children to learn about values and use them! We focus on a new value each month.
