Welcome to the Bethany Community School's Student Support Team's website. The BCS Student Support Team consists of our school psychologists, social workers, behaviorists, and school nurse. As a team, we work to help students succeed academically, socially, behaviorally, and emotionally.
All children face problems from time to time related to learning, social relationships, making difficult decisions, or managing strong emotions. The behavior support team works with students, families, teachers, and community members to understand, and improve both long term and short term issues that students may face.
Students, parents, and teachers may contact any one of our support staff with any concerns or questions. Please reach out by email to schedule a time to talk.
