The mission of Student Support Services is to support each and every student by providing developmentally appropriate personal, career, and academic services for success in elementary school and beyond.

Student Support Services is in place to help students, parents, and teachers develop positive learning experiences. The program consists of a variety of services and activities, including individual and group sessions, classroom guidance lessons, parent and teacher consultation, and referral assistance to other programs and services in the community.
