The Student Support Services Department is a group of hard working professionals whose sole purpose is to support students and their families, allowing all children to be as successful at school as possible. Our ultimate goal is to provide students the skills necessary to be successful in achieving their post-school goals. Our support for students is provided in many different ways. Some of these supports include:

who have been identified as having a disability and require accommodations in their classroom setting to ensure success.

a disability and require an additional program or service to experience school success. These services are available for students from birth through age 26.

who may be displaced from the regular residence. Support may include free lunch, transportation and other school services.

are medically unable to attend school.

• Health Related Services: Provide training  for staff to support the increasing number of students who have health issues such as seizures, diabetes and asthma.

The Student Support Services Department services approximately 1,300 students and provides programming in all of the District’s school buildings. This programming ranges from ancillary support, like speech therapy, to more intensive academic or behavioral services. Additional supports include professional development for families and athletic opportunities for students who have cognitive impairments through Special Olympics.

Families can request information about support services by contacting their children’s school or the Student Support Services Department at 248-684-8238.
