Support Services

  • Sometimes there are unforeseen circumstances that may hinder a student's ability to excel in school.  Fortunately, we have an Attendance Agent, a case manager from The Children's Center, and a DHS Counselor available to address barriers that may interfere with a student's academic and emotional growth.  Our staff works diligently with families to provide resources to help promote a healthy and consistent learning experience for our students.
