Department Overview
Our Mission
The mission of the Office of Student Services is to provide programs and services that meet the intervention, differentiation, and support to appropriately meet the needs of each student so that they can reach their full potential to become an independent learner and functional member of society. This must be done within the framework of school district responsibility considering the diversity of students, consideration to both classroom and school building programs, the needs of the community, and the impact of available funding to support the demands of the aforementioned.
