It is the goal of the Guidance Department to support school success for all students.  The guidance program helps students with their academic, career and personal / social development.

Students meet with the counselor in a classroom setting, small groups or individually.  The counselor works with parents, teachers, administrators and other professionals regarding students.

All students participate in the Second Step pro-social skills program in their regular classrooms.  Monthly Character traits are incorporated in weekly announcements and posted throughout the school.

The Human Relations Committee sponsors monthly school spirit days, and other activities that help create a positive learning environment in school and promote cooperation among the community and school.

Severna Park Elementary has a Family Resource Center with information on a wide variety of topics.
