Guidance Mission

The mission of the counselors of the Poland Schools is to provide high quality, comprehensive school counseling services to all students. Our programs are designed to help all students develop and enhance their academic, social, career, and personal strengths in order to become responsible and productive citizens. There is a commitment to individual uniqueness and the maximum development of human potential.

Through the skillful use of strategic, timely, and personal interventions, counselors customize educational experiences in order to enhance capabilities, close achievement gaps among high and low performing groups and support positive choices.

World Kindness Day is Wednesday, November 13th, and Poland Local Schools invites students/staff to wear bright/neon colors. We ask that parents and children participate by doing one random act of kindness. We will select a few student's kind acts to share on our morning announcements each day during the week of November 11th thru to Thanksgiving Break. Parents and caretakers, please record your child’s random act of kindness below and return it to your child’s homeroom teacher by Friday, November 8th

It’s Red Ribbon Week at Poland Local Schools, and the theme this year is “Life is a movie, Film your best life.” Our 6th Grade PANDA leaders recorded commercials to promote healthy and positive choices. We also had fun with themes and exercises for each day of the week. Enjoy Red Ribbon Week!
