The department of Student Services is an integral part of the educational process. The department's primary focus is to remove barriers to student learning and student achievement. The staff addresses issues through prevention and intervention strategies in order to help students overcome learning challenges and to achieve higher academic levels.

Student Services also assists schools in maintaining safe and nurturing school environments. The Student Services staff is committed to providing direct case- management services to students and families experiencing academic, social or emotional problems. The Student Services umbrella includes guidance and counseling, health services, psychological services, special education, alternative education, health education and other programs such as home schooling and dropout prevention.
