Elementary School Student Services

Members of our Student Services team support the entire student population, providing a broad range of services in the areas of academic achievement, career development, and social/emotional needs. They connect and communicate with those in the student’s circle including teachers, parents, administrators and, at times, outside support services. Our team takes a collaborative approach, both within the schools and districtwide, regularly consulting with one another to support students and families.
