From the Director

As the Director of Student Services, I am passionate about working with staff, parents and students as we collaborate in support of learning for all students preschool through graduation.  Our department is here to be a resource to others and hope that the information shared on this web page can be used as a guide for those who have specific questions needing addressed.  All students learn and develop differently throughout their school experience.  Our goal is to support the specific needs of our learners in a way that maximizes their school experience academically, socially and emotionally.  As a district, we recognize that education varies for each child.  We coordinate programming, across the district, for students identified as having disabilities and students who are English Language Learners.  If you have specific questions or concern, I encourage you to contact our office.
