School Counseling
Mission Statement
The mission of the School Counseling Department at Foxborough Regional Charter School is to provide a comprehensive, developmental program which addresses the academic, college/career, and personal/social needs of all students. In collaboration with school staff, parents/guardians, and the community, the program will facilitate access for every student to school services and supports to achieve the best possible academic outcomes, help students gain the knowledge and skills to achieve their post-secondary education and career goals, and prepare them to be meaningful contributors to society.
Comprehensive, Developmental School Counseling Programming
The goal of a comprehensive, developmental school counseling program is to continually improve the outcomes for all students in academic, career/college, and social/personal areas. The American School Counselor Association (ASCA – www.schoolcounselor.org) and the Massachusetts Association of School Counselors (MASCA – www.masca.org) have published models as guidelines for school counseling departments to design and implement programming. FRCS endorses these models.

Schoollinks
Schoolinks is the software platform that the School Counselors use to support the post-secondary planning and college application process. All students, parents/guardians, and alumni have access to this resource. Students are initially presented with Schoolinks during their junior year, and utilize is heavily during the application process. Parents and guardians have access too! Just click on www.schoolinks.com and login using Google (that's important) using the email address that was/is on file with FRCS. If you have difficulty or any questions, please reach out to Mrs. Sarah DeMello at [email protected]
Academic Success
- Students – Start the year off strong! Set up times to meet with teachers if you need extra help.
- Make an appointment to see your guidance/school counselor to talk about study skills, course planning, social supports, activities, career exploration, or any other question you have about being a student.
- Parents and guardians – contact teachers. Email is by far the easiest and best way to check-in with them about your student’s progress. Don’t wait until report cards!!
Advisory classes are an important aspect of developing student skills. All students in grade 5-12 have Advising. Ask your student about these lessons and start a conversation about how students are learning to be better learners, developing skills for success, and planning for college and career interests, and finding their futures!
Guidance Advisory Council
The National Model for School Counseling recommends having a Guidance Advisory Council. The council provides feedback on the school counseling program and is also a resource for project and initiatives. If you are interested in discussing school counseling programs and activities related to student’s academic, social/personal, and career exploration needs, please talk to your guidance counselor.
