The Department of Student Services is dedicated to supporting school sites in fostering safe and supportive learning environments for both students and staff. The Director of Student Services works closely with school administrators, teachers, community agencies, law enforcement, and other student support personnel to coordinate a wide range of services for students and their families. This collaborative effort ensures that students receive the support they need to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally, helping them make the most of their educational experience. Through this partnership, the Director helps create a safe, supportive, and enriching environment that fosters student success both in and out of the classroom. We provide a broad range of information, resources, and assistance to students, staff, and families.
