Student and Wellness Team

What We Do

We are a team of dedicated helping professionals who meet state requirements to practice in a variety of roles within our district’s school settings. We work to address any possible barriers to learning that may exist in the classroom, community or at home. We strive to understand students' social and emotional perspectives so that we may help them achieve academic and social success. We want to be the link that connects school, home and the community and to provide beneficial and supportive services to students, families and staff.

Our team may:

  • Coordinate and facilitate student meetings to address mental wellness, social and emotional coping skills
  • Provide student referrals to in-school or community therapy programs
  • Find support for family basic needs
  • Address barriers to students’ regular attendance at school
  • Provide crisis intervention and support
  • Bridge the gap between home, school and the community
