Helping SEP Students Every Day

All students, preschool through 12th grade, have the ability to grow socially, emotionally and academically. The Southeast Polk Counseling Program assists students as they learn and practice important skills to meet life’s challenges. We are committed to providing an atmosphere where students feel safe from harassment and violence. By collaborating with students, families, other staff members, and the community, we work to create a positive educational experience for life-long success.

Counseling Programs

Southeast Polk Community School District utilizes a variety of programs for academic, career and social/emotional development. These programs are delivered through curriculum, individual student planning, responsive services and system support. 6th and 7th graders have the RAMBASSADORS program, and additional programs for K-9 grade can be found here.
