The Department of Student Services serves as a vital resource, committed to supporting students of all abilities through a range of specialized services. Our mission is to provide a comprehensive framework of programs and supports tailored to meet the diverse needs of each learner. We work in close partnership with families to ensure meaningful involvement in the development and implementation of Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), recognizing the importance of collaboration in achieving student success.
The CST is a group of dedicated professionals who provide consultative, evaluative, and prescriptive services to students, teachers, and parents.
The School Psychologist has expertise in determining a child’s level of cognitive and conceptual development. In addition, the psychologist is concerned with the emotional status of the student, and how both internal and external factors may affect behavior and performance in school.
The Learning Disabilities Teacher-Consultant (LDT-C) works in collaboration with other members of the CST to determine eligibility for special services. LDT-Cs also consult with parents, teachers, and other school personnel to provide research-based instructional strategies to assist pupils struggling academically.
The Social Worker has expertise in assessing the student relative to the family, the school, and the community. This professional generally gathers information concerning the student’s health, family, and school history as it pertains to the student’s current school functioning. The social worker is also the professional responsible for coordinating community resources on behalf of students and their families.
