Overview

  • The Student Services department is committed to providing a wide range of support services that promote the academic, emotional, and social development of all students. Our goal is to create a nurturing and inclusive environment where every student can thrive, regardless of their background, abilities, or challenges. We work closely with students, families, and school staff to ensure that all students have access to the resources they need for success, both in school and in life.

     

    Our Services Include:

     

    • Special Education Services: We provide a continuum of special education services to students with disabilities, ensuring that they receive an individualized education plan (IEP) tailored to their unique needs. Our team works closely with teachers, parents, and specialists to provide accommodations, modifications, and targeted interventions that help students succeed academically and socially.

    • School Counseling: Our licensed school counselors offer individual and group counseling services to students, addressing a variety of emotional, social, and behavioral issues. Counselors help students build resilience, improve coping skills, manage stress, and develop positive relationships. We also offer guidance on academic planning, college and career readiness, and navigating personal challenges.

    • School Psychology Services: Our school psychologists are trained to assess and support students in areas such as cognitive development, learning difficulties, and behavioral concerns. They collaborate with educators, families, and other professionals to create strategies that support students’ academic success and emotional well-being. They also conduct assessments to identify learning disabilities and provide recommendations for accommodations or interventions.

    • Behavioral Support Services: We offer targeted behavioral interventions to students who may need additional support in managing their behavior. Our team works with students to develop social-emotional skills, self-regulation techniques, and positive behavior strategies. We collaborate with teachers and families to ensure a consistent approach and create a positive school climate.

    • Health Services: Our district provides access to school nurses and health professionals who address the medical needs of students. This includes managing chronic health conditions, administering medications, conducting health screenings, and providing education on wellness and disease prevention. We also work with families to create health plans that ensure students can participate fully in their education.

    • English Language Learner (ELL) Support: For students whose first language is not English, we offer specialized support through language acquisition programs and resources to ensure they can thrive in the classroom. Our ELL staff work with students to build English proficiency and provide cultural enrichment to help students feel supported and integrated into the school community.

    • Crisis Intervention and Prevention: In times of crisis, our Student Services team is ready to support students and families. We provide immediate intervention and long-term support for students facing emotional or behavioral crises, including referrals to community resources, counseling services, and conflict resolution programs. We also focus on prevention by offering programs that promote mental health awareness and resilience.

    • Family Support and Engagement: We recognize that a student's success is deeply connected to the support they receive from their family and community. Our team offers resources and support for families, including parenting workshops, referrals to social services, and assistance in navigating the school system. We strive to foster strong partnerships between schools and families to create a supportive learning environment for students.

     

    At the heart of the Student Services department is a commitment to equity, inclusion, and support for all students. We believe every child deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential, and we are here to help guide them every step of the way. Through collaboration, individualized support, and a focus on holistic development, we ensure that students have the resources they need to succeed academically, socially, and emotionally.
