Academic & Social/Emotional Support Services 

Student Assistance

Shenendehowa provides a vast array of services to meet the unique and varied needs of students as they progress through their educational program. If you find that you are having difficulty in school with academics or personal issues, there are people in the high school who can help: 

• School Counselor - Provides academic, personal/social/emotional, and college and career counseling.  Your counselor will meet with you to select appropriate courses which will prepare you for your post- high school plan.

• Student Support Counselor- Provides crisis counseling and referrals to outside agencies for students experiencing personal or family problems. Also, they provide networking and assistance when students are placed or referred to outside agencies.

• School Psychologist - Performs psycho-educational evaluations to determine eligibility for special support services for students who are encountering academic and/or emotional difficulties in school.

Additional Academic Support

• Classroom Teacher – Your classroom teacher is available during student prep to provide extra help. Before and/or after school help may be available as well. See your teacher to make arrangements.

• Academic Administrators– They are available to assist you with questions you may have regarding curriculum and specific course offerings.

• Peer Tutor – Peer tutoring  is available. See your counselor for more information.

• After School Academic Support – Students can get academic assistance from teachers or student tutors, after the regular school day.  This is offered when we have late bus runs. 

Academic Intervention Services (AIS)
