RAMP Award

  • It is with great pleasure that we announce Rio Calaveras Elementary School Counseling Program as a RAMP (Recognized ASCA Model Program) school. We have been working for over a year on our school counseling program's application and honored to have satisfied all the requirements for a RAMP-recognized school. For more information on this National certification, you can check out ASCA's website by clicking here. Our school counseling program could not have earned this recognition without the support of all our students, staff, parents, administrators, and district supervisors. Thanks for taking this journey with us!!
