Mission Statement: The Teaneck Public Schools Counseling Department provides a comprehensive, developmentally appropriate program that addresses the academic, career, and social-emotional needs of all students. Grounded in the principles of the American School Counselor Association, our program fosters an inclusive and equitable learning environment where every student is empowered to achieve their full potential.

The Student Assistance Coordinator (SAC) plays a crucial role in supporting students' emotional, behavioral, and social well-being within the district. They provide counseling services, develop intervention plans, and coordinate resources to address issues such as substance abuse, mental health challenges, and family crises. The Student Assistance Coordinator works collaboratively with teachers, administrators, and families to foster a safe and supportive school environment, promoting overall student success and resilience.
