Wichita Public Schools is proud to provide a variety of
elementary school programs designed to meet individual

and national standards and include what will be tested on state
assessments.
This booklet can be used at conference time or when

Kansas Comprehensive School Counseling Program: Model and

nature yet allow for the uniqueness of the individual student. This
developmental nature can be seen in the benchmarks to be addressed
