Student Services Office

The Student Services department at each school provides comprehensive programs and services to promote academic, social/emotional, and post-high school planning. Student Services professionals work in partnership with other educators, parents/guardians, and community organizations to support the needs of all students throughout their high school career and beyond.

Student Support Team (SST) members include deans, counselors, social workers, and school
psychologists. These multidisciplinary teams engage in a structured problem-solving process to identify students who need assistance, plan and implement academic and behavioral interventions, and monitor students’ progress. As part of this process, SST members analyze school-wide achievement data, discipline and attendance records, and social-emotional screening data. SST members consult on an ongoing basis with Student Services colleagues, students, teachers, and families to ensure success for all students.

School counselors are student advocates who support students in identifying and achieving their academic, post-high school/career, personal and social-emotional goals throughout their high school career. Counselors assist with creating a personalized learning plan (PLP), monitoring academic progress, assisting with post-high school planning by helping students explore their abilities, strengths, interests, and talents, advocating for students, providing access to resources, and supporting students’ social-emotional development.

School social workers are student advocates who support students by providing individual and group counseling services, crisis assessment and intervention services, and addressing barriers to learning. They connect students and families with school and community resources and help them understand school policies, services, and programs.

School psychologists are student advocates who support students by providing direct support and interventions to students, and consult with teachers, families, and other school-employed mental health professionals (i.e., school counselors, and school social workers) to improve support strategies. They collaborate with community providers to coordinate needed services and conduct psychological and academic assessments to improve academic achievement and social-emotional functioning.
