The Department of Student Services assists in providing wrap-around interventions, support, and resources for student success to create an environment that promotes student wellness, learning, and overall achievement. Student Services supports the whole child, with the focus being on positive behavior, attendance improvement, mental and physical wellness, and trauma sensitivity. The Department oversees programs focused on decreasing discipline and truancy; assists with attendance, homelessness, and registration; implements and manages student-centered service groups; and performs duties in accordance with established federal, state, and district-level policies. 

Student Services advocates for open, honest, and immediate communication at the onset of an issue. By maintaining open lines of communication in the classroom, at the school, and beyond, we can more effectively and efficiently achieve success and solutions.

• FOR STUDENTS: Student Services provide confidential, non-judgemental guidance to students who request meetings.
