STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES
School Counseling Services
School counselors support the academic, career, and social-emotional development of all students by implementing a comprehensive school counseling program that recognizes individual students, and their needs so that each student can contribute positively to their community.
Pupil Personnel Services
Pupil Personnel Workers (PPWs) serve as facilitators between families and schools. Working collaboratively, PPWs help identify, address, and alleviate issues impacting a student’s education, especially those related to attendance, residency verification, custody, and personal hardship. PPWs get to know families across the county and connect them to the resources they need to help their children be successful in school.
Please visit the Student Services page for PPW information and related services.
