Student Support Services
Working together, the school nurses, counselors, and learning specialists make up the Student Support Services Group (SSS). With an eye toward the development of preschool-Grade 12 health support and education, SSS works collaboratively to identify areas of need and the resources necessary to fill such needs.
The Student Support Services Group works with our entire community of parents, students, faculty, and staff by proactively providing education on a variety of topics and responding to crises affecting the community.
